How the data were acquired: | Basaltic samples (n = 52) were collected by the French submersible ``Nautile'' during the “Parisub” cruise (2010, R/V L'Atalante, Ifremer) across the EPR axis (15°40′N) between 105°28′W and 105°13′W. Volcanic glass chips were carefully handpicked under a binocular microscope and successively cleaned ultrasonically in both ultra-pure water and ethanol. Following digestion, major and trace element concentrations were obtained via an ICP-AES Jovin Yvon Ultima 2 and an HR-ICP-MS Thermo Element II, respectively at the, Pôle Spectrométrie Océan (PSO), Institut Universitaire Européen de la Mer (IUEM) in Brest. Isotopic compositions were obtained from a single digestion (after HCl leaching) of 500–750 mg of sample material. Sr isotopic compositions were analyzed using a Thermo Triton TI-MS, whereas Hf, Nd, and Pb isotope compositions were analyzed using a Thermo Neptune MC-ICP-MS located at, PSO, Ifremer–Brest. |
Data format: | Analyzed |
Description of data collection: | Raw data were corrected from instrumental mass bias fractionation using exponential mass fractionation laws and the following values for Pb, Sr, Nd, and Hf, respectively: 205Tl/203Tl = 2.388; 88Sr/86Sr = 8.375202; 146Nd/144Nd = 0.7219; and 179Hf/177Hf = 0.7325. Measured values were compared with international standards globally used for standard bracketing: NIST981: 208Pb/204Pb = 36.7007, 207Pb/204Pb = 15.4891, 206Pb/204Pb = 16.9656; JMC475: 176Hf/177Hf = 0.282157; LAJOLLA: 143Nd/144Nd = 0.511858 and JNDI: 143Nd/144Nd = 0.512115; and NBS987: 87Sr/86Sr = 0.710248. Accuracy and precision were verified by repeated measurement of these standards during the period of analysis. The standard values obtained were as follows: NBS987 (n = 10): 86Sr/87Sr = 0.710263 ± 16 (2sd); JNDI (n = 27): 143Nd/144Nd = 0.512076 ± 32 (2sd); LAJOLLA (n = 11): 143Nd/144Nd = 0.511857 ± 18 (2sd); NIST981 (n = 23): 208Pb/204Pb = 36.6652 ± 250 (2sd), 207Pb/204Pb = 15.4810 ± 96 |
(2sd), 206Pb/204Pb = 16.9283 ± 86 (2sd); JMC475 (n = 26): 176Hf/177Hf = 0.282148 ± 16 (2sd). Additional details are provided in the Experimental design, materials, and methods section. | |
