Description
The database GEOROC (Geochemistry of Rocks of the Oceans and Continents) is a comprehensive collection of published analyses of igneous and metamorphic rocks and minerals. It contains major and trace element concentrations, radiogenic and nonradiogenic isotope ratios as well as analytical ages for whole rocks, glasses, minerals and inclusions. Metadata include geospatial and other sample information, analytical details and references. The database was established by the Max Plank Institute for Chemistry, Mainz. It is now maintained by the Digital Geochemical Data Infrastructure (DIGIS) project at Göttingen University.
