Late Neoarchean Mercury Isotope Data for Igneous Rocks in North China Craton

Supplementary tables for a manuscript on Late Neoarchean geological processes. The dataset includes whole-rock geochemistry, mercury concentration and isotopic composition for Archean igneous samples from the Eastern Block of the North China Craton, along with summary literature data and reference material analyses. It was authored by Runsheng Yin and last updated on May 10, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing mercury isotopic shifts in Archean igneous rocks based on the Hg isotopic composition data.
• Correlating whole-rock geochemistry with mercury content based on the provided geochemical and THg (ppb) columns.
• Validating analytical methods using the reference material analysis data.
• Comparing new findings with existing literature based on the summary of literature data.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple analytical components: whole-rock geochemistry, mercury concentration, and mercury isotopic composition.
• The dataset provides analysis data for reference materials, which suggests a focus on data quality control.
• It is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open sharing and reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small (248.8 KB), indicating a limited scope focused on a specific research study.
