Geochemical and petrological data for skarn-related intrusions controlling Cu-Fe-Au fertility in the Tongling ore district, Eastern China
Abstract:
This dataset presents geochemical and petrological data for the Qingshanjiao quartz monzodiorite (QQM) and Jitou quartz diorite (JQD) associated with the Dongguashan Cu-Au and Xinqiao Fe-Au skarn deposits in the Tongling ore district, Eastern China, aiming to constrain how distinct magmatic processes control Cu-Fe-Au metallogenic fertility.
The dataset comprises 13 appendix files covering whole-rock major/trace elements and Sr-Nd isotopes, zircon Hf isotopes, apatite major/trace elements and Sr-Nd isotopes, and mineral electron microprobe analyses.
All measurements were conducted using standard analytical techniques (ICP-MS, EPMA, LA-ICP-MS, MC-ICP-MS) in certified geochemical laboratories in Nanjing, Guangzhou and Wuhan, China.
This dataset provides critical geochemical constraints for deciphering magma evolution, redox state, volatile contents and ore-forming mechanisms in the Tongling district and analogous skarn systems worldwide.
