Back-Arc Basin Dataset
Abstract:
This dataset is a high-quality compilation of chemical analyses for about 850 back-arc basin basalt samples from PetDB. To obtain the most reliable and coherent BABB dataset, analyses of fresh glassy material were used when available, and individual major element analyses were corrected with interlaboratory correction factors. For a detailed description of data compilation and data selection see reference: "Chemical Systematics and Hydrous Melting of the Mantle in Back-Arc Basins" in: Back-Arc Spreading Systems: Geological, Biological, Chemical, and Physical Interactions; Geophysical Monograph Series 166, AGU, 2006;
