Phosphorus speciation data from geological samples of the Archean Moodies Group and from laboratory experiments
The data include P speciation data (reduced and polymerized P) from Archean rocks in the Moodies Group in South Africa (3.2 Ga), spanning across basaltic intrusions into sedimentary strata, as well as experimental data from simulations of phosphate heating in the presence of organic matter and iron as would have occurred during magma intrusions. Also included are auxiliary geochemical data of bulk elemental abundances to characterize the rock samples.

- Statement
- The setup of the experiments is described in the data files. In all cases, phosphate precursors, silica powder and organic matter or iron were mixed and heated under anoxic conditions. Control experiments were also included to verify the sources of key products. Phosphorus speciation analyses of the experimental samples and of all geological samples was conducted on EDTA-NaOH leachates, as described in Baidya et al. (in review). The leachates were analyzed by NMR and by IC-ICPMS. Elemental abundances of total phosphorus, chromium and titanium were measured by ICP-MS after acid digestion of bulk rock powders. Total organic carbon was measured on HCl-treated powders by EA-IRMS. Details are described in Baidya et al. (in review).
