Summary

This dataset contains results from a stratigraphic section of the Hue Shale located along the Jago River in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge at 69.9099, -143.3947 (WGS84). Sample heights were measured with a tape measure in a continuous succession. Zircon grains from volcanic ashes were analyzed via laser ablation at either the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) or the University of Arizona Laserchron Center (ALC) using a Photon Machines Analyte 193-nm Excimer laser and Nu Instruments Plasma HR MC-ICPMS. Zircon grains from volcanic ashes were analyzed via chemical abrasion at the Berkeley Geochronology Center using a Sector 54 TIMS. Bulk mudstone samples were subject to a variety of analyses. Total organic carbon (TOC) [...]

Purpose

The dataset was collected to ascertain the age, chemostratigraphy, and depositional environment of the Cretaceous Hue Shale depositional sequence. Detailed interpretations of these data and a discussion of the results and implications of the study can be found in Lease and others, 2024.
