Description Rock samples were crushed with a Terminator oscillating jaw crusher with chrome steel alloy plates so that at least 70 percent of the material passed through a -10 mesh (2 mm) screen. Representative aliquots of 250 grams each were taken using a stainless steel riffle splitter. These samples were then pulverized in a chrome steel ring mill so that 85 percent of the sample passed through a -200 mesh (75 micron) screen. Whole rock major oxide analyses were performed using representative splits of each 250 gram pulp. For the whole rock analyses, major- and minor-element oxides were determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry following a lithium borate fusion (ALS code WEI-GRA06) on 116 samples.

Description Samples were were crushed and pulverized to provide a 10 gram pelletized sample. Trace element analyses (Nb, Rb, Sr, Y, and Zr) were determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry on pressed pellets for 114 samples.
