Data accompanying: Emmings et al. A Mississippian Black Shale Record of Redox Oscillation. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology [submitted July 2019] (NERC grant NE/L002493/1)
This is a geochemical dataset accompanying Emmings, J., Poulton, S., Vane, C., Davies, S., Jenkin, G., Stephenson, M., Leng, M., Lamb, A., Moss-Hayes, V. A Mississippian Black Shale Record of Redox Oscillation. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology [submitted July 2019]. This dataset includes RockEval pyrolysis, major and trace element (XRF), Fe speciation, C, N and S isotopes and S species analyses through the Upper Bowland Shale in the Craven Basin (Lancashire, UK). This research was conducted by Joe Emmings, PhD researcher at the University of Leicester and British Geological Survey (BGS) between 2014-2018, and as a post-doctoral research associate (PDRA) at the British Geological Survey (2018-2021). The PhD research was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), as part of the Central England Training Alliance (CENTA) [grant no. NE/L002493/1] and received CASE funding from the BGS. PDRA research was funded by the British Geological Survey.

Sedimentology - please see open-access publication Emmings, J. et al., 2019a. From Marine Bands to Hybrid Flows: Sedimentology of a Mississippian Black Shale. Sedimentology, [Accepted ms.] DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/sed.12642. Total carbon and sulphur data were acquired using a LECO CS 230 elemental analyser at the University of Leicester. Major and trace element concentrations were measured on fused beads and powder briquettes with a PANalytical Axios Advanced X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer at the University of Leicester. Fe species data were measured at the University of Leeds via sequential extraction of 'highly reactive' Fe phases (method of Poulton and Canfield, 2005). Pyrite Fe content was estimated using the CrCl2 method of Canfield et al., 1986). Stable C and S isotopes were determined at the National Environmental Isotope Facility (NEIF)
