Summary

This dataset accompanies planned publication 'Paleogene mid-crustal intrusions in the Ruby Mountains Metamorphic Core Complex, northeastern Nevada' [IP-153033], to be published in Geosphere, as well as planned future publications in this region. The data encompass U-Pb zircon age and trace element data and whole-rock Pb, Sr, and Nd isotopic data from igneous and metamorphic rocks throughout the Ruby Mountains, East Humboldt Range, Lizzies Basin, Lamoille Canyon, and Angel Lake areas of northeast, Nevada. Samples were collected from this area by Allen McGrew (Univ. of Dayton), Arthur Snoke (Univ. of Wyoming), Wayne Premo (USGS) and Keith Howard (USGS), who brought them to the USGS Denver for analysis. The analyses were performed from [...]

Purpose

The data encompass U-Pb zircon age and trace element data and whole-rock Pb, Sr, and Nd isotopic data of rocks within the Ruby Mountains and East Humboldt Range. This suite of rocks will be used to elucidate the igneous and metamorphic geochronology and geochemistry of this area. Data were shared to meet open data requirements.
