The mid-Palaeozoic biotic crisis: setting the trajectory of tetrapod evolution. Northern England, Scottish Borders and Nova Scotia. (NERC grants NE/J020729/1, NE/J021067/1)
The data set consists of rock samples collected from Burnmouth, a core drilled at Norham, from Crumble Edge, Willie's Hole and Nova Scotia from 2012-2016; milled material is included. There is an Excel spreadsheet of sample numbers with location, sample height on log, lithology and fossil content. Scans of field logs from Burnmouth, Crumble Edge, Edington Mill, Pease Bay (UK) and locations in Nova Scotia, and overview drawn-up logs from Burnmouth, Norham, Crumble Edge and Willie's Hole are included. Scans of thin section scans are also included. There is a spreadsheet containing geochemistry data - sample numbers with lithology and %C, %S, d13C. These data were used to interpret the environment in which early tetrapods have been found in the early Carboniferous.

- Samples were collected from the field and location of each noted. A core was drilled at Norham (NE/J021067/1) and samples were taken from that. An existing core from the Hoddom Borehole was also sampled with some thin sections made Thin sections were made of many of the samples from the exposed sections and the boreholes. Small amounts of many samples were crushed, milled and analysed for C and S content on a LECO machine. Suitable samples were then analysed for C-isotopes. Portions of many samples were picked for macro and microfossil content.
