U-Pb Isotopic Data and Ages of Detrital Zircon from Selected Rocks from Southwestern Alaska and the Yukon-Tanana Upland and Environs of Eastern Interior Alaska and Eastern Yukon, Canada
This dataset contains U-Pb isotopic data and associated ages of detrital zircon from sedimentary and metasedimentary rocks collected from southwestern Alaska and from the Yukon-Tanana upland and environs of eastern interior Alaska and western Yukon, Canada. The samples were collected as part of geological mapping and research conducted from 1996 to 2021 and funded by the Mineral Resources Program of the U.S. Geological Survey. Detrital zircon grains were separated and analyzed by four different laboratories: U.S. Geological Survey laboratories in Denver, Colorado; Apatite to Zircon, Inc. (A2Z); GeoSep Services (GSS); and the University of British Columbia. All analyses were conducted between 2007 and 2021 using laser-ablation-inductively-coupled-plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) techniques.
