Apatite fission track data from UKGEOS Glasgow borehole GGC01

Apatite Fission Track (AFT) single grain count and horizontal confined track length data acquired from 6 sandstones samples from UKGEOS Glasgow borehole GGC01 drilled in the Dalmarnock area of Glasgow. The sandstones were retrieved from depths of 65, 98, 135, 150, 168 and 198 metres and were Westphalian in age coming from the Middle and Lower Scottish coal measures. Each sample has its BGS Subsample SSK number and an ascribed name in reference to its depth of collection with the added initials of the researcher i.e., 65 AH. The data is presented in 2 files one containing the AFT count data and the other containing the AFT length measurements. The AFT count data of each sample is found in excel file containing the spontaneous and induced track counts of a grain and accessory data of that grain e.g., the calculated age (calculated using the program Isoplotr) and calculated uranium concentration. The AFT length data of each sample comes in a separate excel file with the measured lengths and c-axis corrected lengths of HCTs of a sample, all Dpar measurements are also listed here. Samples and data are derived from the UK Geoenergy Observatories Programme funded by the UKRI Natural Environment Research Council and delivered by the British Geological Survey.

Statement: Lineage statement: 6 samples of sandstone were collected from the core of borehole GGC01. The 6 samples were prepared for AFT analysis. The first step was to crush each sample to break the rock into single grains. These grains were then refined into groups using first magnetic separation and then heavy fluid separation first using DIM and then LST. The targeted group that would collect and concentrate the apatite grains (float of LST) of each sample was then taken and the apatites were placed on mounts by way of either the scatter method or picked method. Once mounted grains were planed and polished to expose the interior surface of the grains. Grains were then etched using 5.5 mole nitric acid at 21 degrees centigrade. For AFT analysis the External Detector Method (EDM) was used, therefore samples had to be irradiated to induce fission of U 235 atoms for this method.
