Sequential Extraction Analyses of Sokli Carbonatite Samples, Finland (2024-2025)

Finland's Sokli carbonatite laterite provides rock and soil samples analyzed between September 2024 and October 2025. The dataset contains sequential extraction analyses to determine mineralogical hosts of rare earth elements (REE) and their leaching behavior. The work was conducted by the University of Brighton's School of Applied Sciences as part of the SCREED project.

Use Cases

• Modeling rare earth element (REE) mobility in weathering profiles based on sequential extraction data.
• Identifying mineralogical hosts for REEs in carbonatite laterites based on leaching behavior analysis.
• Supporting mineral exploration strategies for supergene-enriched REE deposits based on geochemical partitioning.

Strengths

• Analyses were conducted over a defined period from September 2024 to October 2025.
• Full sample locations and descriptions are linked to a persistent DOI (10.5285/83819b57-4754-4da3-9336-955e817573ed).
• Data is associated with a specific research project (SCREED) focused on supergene enrichment.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
