Geochemical data from hydrothermal vents and distal areas near the North-Atlantic Igneous Province (NAIP) during the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM)

The data include organic carbon and nitrogen abundances, carbon isotopes, nitrogen isotopes, major and trace element abundances, RockEval and mercury abundances from sedimentary strata across the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum. The samples include areas with hydrothermal influence linked to the emplacement of the North-Atlantic Igneous Province and others distal to hydrothermal activity to evaluate the effect of hydrothermal circulation on geochemical cycles. The results are linked to Rochelle-Bates et al. (in prep.) "Hydrothermal ammonium from a Large Igneous Province mitigated early Eocene climate change". * Note: U1568A Rockeval : Red filled cells highlight unreliable data with Tmax less than 350°C or greater than 450°C, or oxygen indices greater than 200.

Statement: Carbon and nitrogen data were collected by flash combustion linked to an isotoepe ratio mass spectrometer at the University of St Andrews and at the University of Hawai?i at M?noa. Mercury data were collected by atomic absorption spectroscopy at the University of Oxford. RockEval was determined with a a Vinci Technologies RockEval 6 device at the University of Oxford. Major and trace element analyses were done on bulk digests by ICP-MS and ICP-OES at ALS Global in Dublin, Ireland. For details, see Rochelle-Bates et al. (in prep.)
