Tabular geochronologic, geochemical, and isotopic data from igneous rocks in the Lane Mountain area, San Bernardino County, California

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2023-06-10T00:00:00Z
This dataset provides geochronologic, geochemical, and isotopic data for selected igneous rock samples collected in the Lane Mountain area about 20 kilometers northeast of Barstow, California, between the years 2014 and 2021. Uranium-lead (U-Pb) zircon geochronologic and whole-rock geochemical data were obtained for 62 samples of which 28 are from Permian to Triassic plutonic rocks and dikes, 24 from Late Jurassic plutonic rocks, 6 from Late Cretaceous plutonic rocks and dikes, and 4 from Miocene volcanic rocks. Rubidium-strontium (Rb-Sr) isotopic data were obtained for 8 Permian to Triassic samples, 9 Late Jurassic samples, and 4 Late Cretaceous samples. Oxygen isotope data were obtained for 2 Permian to Triassic samples, 6 Late Jurassic samples, and 2 Late Cretaceous samples. The dataset consists of six tables in csv (comma separated values) format: (1) sample localities and lithology; (2) SHRIMP-RG (Sensitive High-Resolution Ion Microprobe-Reverse Geometry) U-Pb zircon geochronologic data; (3) sample ages derived from the geochronologic data; (4) whole-rock geochemical data determined by ICP-AES-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy-Mass Spectrometry) and WDXRF (Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence); (5) whole-rock Rb-Sr isotopic data measured on a solid source mass spectrometer, along with calculations of the original 87Sr/86Sr isotopic ratios based on the measured data; and (6) whole-rock oxygen isotope determinations of delta 18O.
