Geochemical analysis of selenium in basalts from La Palma volcanic systems

Data consist of electron microprobe, SEM, ICP-MS in laser and solution mode, and images of crystal mounts and thin sections, La Palma 2021. 35 samples of basalt, erupted during the 2021 Cumbre Vieja eruption on La Palma, Canary Islands, were collected in February 2022. The basalt samples were prepared for various kinds of analysis: powdered for ICP-MS (whole rock trace elements including chalcophile elements), made into thin sections for petrological analysis (imaged and mapped using Scanning Electron Microscope), and crushed and crystals picked and mounted for targeted microanalysis of melt inclusions, crystals using Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA, for major elements and volatiles S, Cl and F) and laser ablation ICP-MS (for trace elements including chalcophile elements). The overall aim of the project was to look at the chalcophile element abundance and distribution in the magmas feeding the eruption. The data here relate to a NERC Exploring the Frontiers project.

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.
