Other constraints

The dataset has been formally approved by BGS for access by external clients under a BGS Digital Data Licence, issued via BGS's IPR Section. The dataset must not be provided to, or be accessible by, an external client until the IPR Section confirms that signed licence documentation is in place. Refer to the IPR Section (DigitalLE@bgs.ac.) if further advice is required.. Constraint applies until 2028-03-31

Other constraints

Either: (i) the dataset is made freely available, e.g. via the Internet, for a restricted category of use (e.g. educational use only); or (ii) the dataset has not been formally approved by BGS for access and use by external clients under licence, but its use may be permitted under alternative formal arrangements; or (iii) the dataset contains 3rd party data or information obtained by BGS under terms and conditions that must be consulted in order to determine the permitted usage of the dataset. Refer to the BGS staff member responsible for the creation of the dataset if further advice is required. He / she should be familiar with the composition of the dataset, particularly with regard to 3rd party IPR contained in it, and any resultant use restrictions. This staff member should revert to the IPR Section (ipr@bgs.ac.uk ) for advice, should the position not be clear.

Statement

Bulk rock or soil samples were crushed either using a ball mill, or agate pestle and mortar. Approximately 1g of sample as weighed accurately and then heated to 550°C to determine loss on ignition. Then 0.1g was fused with 0.4g lithium borate flux in a Fluxana induction furnace, and the resulting glass dissolved in 100ml 10% nitric acid, and then diluted to 2% nitric acid for analysis. Solution analyses were conducted using an Agilent 7900 ICP-MS at the University of Brighton, using online addition of 100ug/L rhenium solution as internal standard. The data was calibrated against calibration curves constructed with a calibration blank and Agilent multi-element standards diluted to different concentrations. The relative standard deviation was <10% for all elements analysed.
