The isotopic sulphur composition of two barite samples from Rose Mountain area near Faro, Yukon is provided by the Government of Yukon. The dataset contains δ34S values of +14.3 ± 0.2 and +13.8 ± 0.2 for barite horizons interbedded with Early Carboniferous Mount Aho formation rocks. The results suggest barite precipitated from mixing of sulphate-poor hydrothermal fluids with ambient seawater.
Use Cases
- Analyze seawater sulphate sources based on δ34S values
- Model hydrothermal fluid mixing processes based on isotopic composition
- Study Early Carboniferous paleoenvironments based on barite horizon data
- Validate geological formation models for the Slide Mountain Terrane
Strengths
- Specific δ34S values of +14.3 ± 0.2 and +13.8 ± 0.2 are provided
- Samples are from two laterally extensive, massive barite horizons
- Geological context of the Early Carboniferous Mount Aho formation is described
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to open_canada
