Description
LA-ICP-MS uranium lead geochronologic data of zircon from igneous and meta-igneous rocks in the Chena project area, Circle, Big Delta, and Eagle quadrangles, Alaska, Raw Data File 2025-14, provides uranium-lead (U-Pb) geochronologic data from single zircon spots, analyzed using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) staff collected zircon data from 22 igneous and meta-igneous rock samples, primarily collected during the 2023 field season, to support the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI) Chena project. Two samples were analyzed to support geologic interpretation in the Mount Harper (2022) project area. Crystallization age data are organized in the age summary data table with our interpreted crystallization ages, sample location information, and sample descriptions. The zircon grain data table contains isotopic and elemental data for each zircon spot analyzed. Both tables have accompanying data dictionaries. These data and report are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/31553.
