Summary

This data release contains whole-rock geochemical analyses from drill cores and cuttings of pre-Middle Jurassic basement rocks that are buried beneath Coastal Plain sedimentary deposits in Florida and Alabama. The analyses were acquired to support geologic mapping and characterization of little-known coastal-plain basement rock units for topical studies as in geochronology, and applications ranging from mineral, energy, and water resources to earthquake hazards. These samples provide rare insights into deeply buried rocks that have no surface exposures and no known exposed correlates. The 70 whole-rock samples from drill cores and cuttings were selected and described by Ryan Deasy (USGS) and analyzed for major and trace elements at [...]

Purpose

Basement terranes and basins buried beneath sediments of the Atlantic Coastal Plain are among the last frontiers of regional geology in the United States. Whole-rock geochemical analyses of drill cores and cuttings of rocks from pre-Cretaceous basement buried beneath the Atlantic Coastal Plain in Florida and Alabama were acquired to support subsurface geologic mapping and topical studies as in geochronology. Other potential uses range from mineral, energy, and water resources to environmental and engineering applications.
