Geochronological data from the Hudson Mountains, Antarctica

Geological fieldwork was carried out in the Hudson Mountains during the 2005/6 and 2019/20 Antarctic summers to help understand the glacial history of the Pine Island Glacier region of West Antarctica. To accurately determine the crystallisation age of a suite of granitoid glacial erratics, we conducted a detailed analysis of zircon U-Pb geochronology. The dataset here provides U-Pb zircon geochronology data for 10 rock samples, collected from the Hudson Mountains. The data were collected in November 2024 at University College London. The analyses were conducted by Andrew Carter (University College London).

This work was funded by NERC grant (NE/S006710/1) to Joanne Johnson.

Statement
U-Pb ages were calculated using the 206Pb/238U ratios for samples dated as <1.1 Ga, and the 207Pb/206Pb ratios was used for older grains. Discordance was determined using (207Pb/235U - 206Pb/238U) / 206Pb/238U) and similar for 207Pb/206Pb ages.
