Experimental work on Ivrea ultramafic pipe material (NERC Grants NE/M010848/1, NE/M011615/1)
Results of piston cylinder experiments on lower-crustal material from the Ivrea Zone, Italian Alps. Natural sulfides and sulfide-silicate mixes from lower crustal cumulates were heated and pressurised to conditions matching those of the MASH zone, which is hypothesised to be the source of metals for post-collisional porphyry Cu deposits. This was done in order to simulate partial melting and examine the mobility of metals in this environment. This data contains experimental logs stating the experimental conditions; reflected light photographs of the experimental capsules; scanning electron microscope element maps and identification of platinum group minerals and precious metal minerals in the capsules; and trace element concentration of sulfides in the capsules. This data was collected as part of the TeaSe consortium NERC grant in order to test hypotheses about porphyry Cu deposit formation. This data was collected by researchers at Cardiff University and the University of Edinburgh.

Piston cylinder experiments were run at a range of temperatures and a fixed pressure of 1.2 GPa on both pure sulphide and 30:70 sulphide:silicate mix within a graphite container in a Pt capsule. Materials were sourced from the Ivrea Zone lower crustal cumulates, Italy. The experimental capsules were then opened and imaged using a reflected light microscope and a scanning electron microscope. Element maps were produced using SEM-EDS and LAICPMS was used to determine the metal content of sulphides in the experimental capsules.
