Field photographs of rock formations or modern precipitates from the sedimentary environment (NERC Grant NE/M010953/1)
Field photographs of rock formations or modern precipitates from the sedimentary environment. Samples were collected throughout the UK. This data was collected between February 2019 and November 2019. This data was collected to better understand the low temperature cycling of Telurium (Te) and Sellenium (Se) in the geological environment. For example, a range of ochre samples were included in this data. Ochres are a modern precipitate commonly found in rivers and streams which flow through geographical areas with a history of mining resources which are rich in sulphides. Iron from the sulphides are leached out and deposited downstream, coating river and stream beds, giving a red, yellow or orange colouration. Ochres can be a sink for trace metals such as Te and Se, therefore studying these environments could be informative from a resource perspective but also from an environmental hazard perspective. This data would be useful for researchers who require reference photographs for similar studies or as an aid for resampling.

Field photographs were taken at each locality as part of the sample collection process, to document the in situ geological, geographical or environmental context of the sample. The data is structured as a compressed folder containing subfolders titled with the geographical area, geological age and sample type. Within each folder is a further subfolder titled with the UK OS grid reference for each sample locality.
