Major and trace element composition, age and U-Pb data from 3000 Ma-old meteorites
Abstract:
The datasest includes the in situ analyses of Pb isotopes and estimation of the U content in potassium feldspars, phosphates (apatite), plagioclases and sulphides identified in the meteorites NWA 14178, NEA 003, LAP 02205, LAP 02224 and NWA 4734. The dataset also includes major and trace element composition of the meteorite NWA 14178, a summary of the age and initial Pb ratios in these five lunar basalts and a compilation of slected trace element data of lunar basalts.
