Microprobe data for garnet, biotite, plagioclase, and muscovite used to determine pressure-temperature conditions. The dataset was authored by Sarah Hull and last updated on June 29, 2026. It focuses on the Eastern Blue Ridge region north of the Grandfather Mountain window in northwestern North Carolina.
Use Cases
- Calibrate thermobarometry models based on mineral chemistry data.
- Reconstruct metamorphic pressure-temperature paths for the Eastern Blue Ridge.
- Validate regional geological interpretations based on microprobe data.
Strengths
- Focuses on key minerals for thermobarometry: garnet, biotite, plagioclase, and muscovite.
- Authored by a named researcher, Sarah Hull, suggesting academic provenance.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
