Title

Nitrogen geochemistry of igneous units from Loch Doon, Scotland (NERC Grant NE/P012167/1)

Abstract

This dataset contains the nitrogen, oxygen, and lithophile element geochemistry of whole rock, and distribution coefficients, and stable isotope fractionation factors for biotite, orthoclase, and plagioclase mineral separates from the Loch Doon Zoned Pluton, Scotland. The samples were collected from the northern limb of the Loch Doon pluton and are petrologically classified as are granodiorites and granites which show geochemical evidence for being a cogenetic zoned pluton. The data were collected over a time period of 2019-2022. These data were collected to investigate elemental partitioning and stable isotope fractionation of nitrogen between biotite, plagioclase, and orthoclase relative to each other and to the system (whole rock) during magmatic differentiation. This project was curiosity-driven science, and the anticipated interest groups are assumed to be the wider research community via scholarship and analytical protocols. These data were collected by an international team of scientists as part of Dr Toby Boocock’s PhD project.

Nitrogen contents and isotope values were measured on whole-rock and mineral-separate powders (biotite, Kspar, plagioclase, quartz) on a Thermo Fisher Scientific MAT253 Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer at the University of St Andrews. Oxygen isotopes were obtained at the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre (SUERC) stable isotope laboratory. Samples were analysed for major and trace element composition by energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) on a SPECTRO XEPOS HE spectrometer at the University of St Andrews In-situ major element data for biotite, Kspar, and plagioclase mineral phases were measured using the Cameca SX100 Electron Probe Micro Analyser (EPMA) in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge. In-situ trace element data for biotite, Kspar and plagioclase were measured in the Advanced Mass Spectrometry Lab of the Earth Observatory at the University of the Witwatersrand.
