Abstract:
This dataset reports whole-rock and glass major and trace element compositions of tephra samples from historical eruptions in the Canary Islands. Whole-rock data was obtained by X-ray fluorescence and inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Glass data was obtained by electron-probe microanalysis and laser ablation ICP-MS.
