Overview
The data collection comprises the following separate elements:
- Computed tomography (CT) scan images of Section 2-3 of the Phillips’ Core (with accompanying .xml and .txt files) plus a movie file of the CT scan reconstruction;
- Thin-section images covering the full area of Section 2-3 of the Phillips’ Core in plane-polarised and cross-polarised light;
- Spreadsheets of geochemical data, including chemical analyses of (i) the full Phillips’ Core by portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF), (ii) Section 2-3 of the core by high-resolution XRF-scanner, and (iii) powdered subsamples from Section 2-3 by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and ICP-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) with accompanying quality control data;
- Selected micro-XRF elemental maps covering the full area of Section 2-3 of the Phillips’ Core;
- Scanning electron microscope energy-dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS) images covering the majority of the area of Section 2-3 of the Phillips’ Core. The pixel size for each image is 3.22 micrometres.
- SEM back-scattered electron images covering the full area of Section 2-3 of the Phillips’ Core. The pixel size for each image is 749 nanometres.
Additional datasets are available in Nash et al. (2021). These include a sedimentary log of the full Phillips’ Core, plus SEM-cathodoluminescence, automated SEM-EDS (QEMSCAN) and whole-rock isotope analyses of sub-samples and thin-sections from Section 2-3 of the core.
The six pieces of the Phillips’ Core have been given English Heritage accession numbers 88371912.1 to 88371912.6 and are held in the English Heritage Collections Store at Temple Cloud (Bath, UK). Section 2-3 of the core has acquisition number 88371912.2.
