Klondike District Carbonate Geochemistry and Stable Isotope Data

Government of Yukon data presents a preliminary geochemical investigation of carbonate in the Klondike district. The dataset likely contains results from chemical staining, LA-ICP-MS analyses, and laser spectroscopic analyses of C and O isotopes. It was last updated on April 17, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze carbonate composition based on Mg-Fe-Mn calcite dominance mentioned in the description
• Compare isotopic signatures between marble and micaceous schist based on C and O isotope data
• Model CO2 remobilization during brittle deformation based on isotopic similarity between vein and host rock carbonate

Strengths

• Includes data from multiple analytical techniques: chemical staining, LA-ICP-MS, and laser spectroscopy
• Focuses on a specific geological district (Klondike) and mineralization type (orogenic gold)
• Published by the Government of Yukon, an authoritative regional source

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
