The Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field and surrounding region is made up of over 3 billion years of geologic history, with 300+ separate rock types. To increase our understanding of the evolution of this active system and direct priorities for sample collection and field study, we compiled whole rock geochemical datasets from numerous thesis and papers (17 in total). We present these data in a standardized format and include location information and details on analytical methods when available.
The data are the results of mass spectrometer experiments to measure 40Ar/39Ar ages of sanidine crystals hosted in Yellowstone rhyolites. The data were collected using a MAP216 noble gas mass spectrometer and a Nu Noblesse noble gas mass spectrometer at the USGS facility in Menlo Park, Calif.
