This collection consists of raw sample analyses of whole rock major oxide with minor element analyses on rock, soil, or stream sediments samples, as well as trace metal analyses. In general, the analyses include only those samples collected from projects involving Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) geologists or that appear in DGGS publications. However, many U.S. Bureau Mines and Bureau of Land Management publications and a small percentage of U.S. Geological Survey publications are also included. The database is continually updated as more data is collected and formatted for loading.
