Title of dataset: ICP-MS microcharacterisation data from Agilent 7900x for experimentA, Anon Lab Group Principal Investigator: Prof Anon, Research Institute, prof.anonymous@institute.edu Data Creator: John Smith, Research Institute, j.smith@institute.edu Project Objective: Use LA-ICP-MS for U-Pb dating of zircon in rock samples acquired from three locations (Flinders Ranges, Willouran Ranges and Mount Lofty) --------------------------------------------DATA FILES------------------------------------------------- File naming convention: collectionDateLocationIDSiteNum_sampleNum_samplePrep.fileFormat Attributes collectionDate = date the rock sample was collected locationIDsampleNum = location code for sample with appending 3-digit site number sampleNum = a 2-digit number assigned to each sample for a given site samplePrep = indicates whether sample was thin-sectioned for SEM imaging with appended 2-digit image number fileFormat = .tiff image file or .csv as generated by the microscope or ICP-MS Code collectionDate = YYYYMMDD locationID = {Flinders Ranges:“FR”, Willouran Ranges: “WR”, Mount Lofty: "ML"} samplePrep = {thin-sectioned: "TS"} Examples: ICP-MS data for the 8th site and 2nd rock sample acquired during field trip between dates 21-26 April 2021 to Flinders Ranges. Sample was thin-sectioned and SEM imaged - 20210421FR008_02_TS01.tiff (thin section image) - 20210421FR008_02 – 1.csv (ICP-MS data, “- 1” is appended by analysis software”) -------------------------------------------DATA LOCATION----------------------------------------------- The raw data is located in the following folder in the laboratory's central storage allocation: .../AnonLabGroup/ExperimentA/RawData/ Raw data folders are organised by date as shown in the example below: RawData ├───20210614 ├───20210615 └───20210616
