Online_Linkage: http://dx.doi.org/10.14509/29134 Description: Abstract: This DGGS Raw Data File presents 40Ar/39Ar age dating results for selected igneous rocks encountered in the Styx River area of the western Alaska Range. Crystallization ages on biotite and hornblende from plutonic rocks range from about ~60 to ~63 Ma, while a sericite alteration age in plutonic rocks altered by a dike swarm also is around ~63 Ma. Sericite alteration associated with a copper-molybdenum porphyry ranges from ~10 to ~11 Ma. Analyses were performed by the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geochronology Laboratory, and results were reported by Paul Layer and Jeff Benowitz. This data release includes the following products: a summary of sample collection methods, the laboratory report, analytical data tables and associated metadata, and plots of the 40Ar/39Ar age spectra, Ca/K, and Cl/K ratios. All components of this data release are downloadable from the DGGS website at no charge. Purpose: We selected samples for 40Ar/39Ar analysis to characterize and distinguish plutonic complexes and mineralization events, and to unravel the magmatic, structural, and metallogenic evolution of the area. The study area was selected primarily because it was located in the survey tracts with the largest number of plutons and volcanic rocks according to previous regional geologic mapping. Supplemental_Information: The DGGS metadata standard extends the FGDC standard to include elements that are required to facilitate our internal data management. These elements, referred to as "layers," group and describe files that have intrinsic logical or topological relationships and correspond to subdirectories within the data distribution package. The metadata layer provides an FGDC metadata file and may include other documentation files. Attribute information for each data layer is described in this metadata file under the "Entity_and_Attribute_Information" section.

Sample numbers were recorded in the field on sample bags and on field note sheets. The sample location table was cross checked for consistency against the sample numbers recorded on the bags. Laboratory sample numbers were generated by the UAF geochronology lab from the a list provided by DGGS. See text report for additional discussion of laboratory procedures. Lab results and interpretations were examined by the DGGS geologists to ensure that they are reasonable given the geologic context of the sample. Logical_Consistency_Report: not applicable Completeness_Report: Users should note that the interpretive summaries that are provided in the text report have been lightly edited for clarity but are generally provided as received from the lab. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Locations were recorded using handheld, WAAS-enabled GPS devices. WAAS-enabled GPS devices have a reported error of about 1 m (NSTB/WAAS T&E Team, 2006). Depending on degradation of the WAAS and GPS signals, the horizontal position error of sample locations in this report is in the range of 1-10 m. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Fieldwork - Field geologists (2013) collected rock samples from surface outcrops. Care was taken to collect fresh, unweathered samples displaying, when possible, sufficiently large grains for mineral separate sampling. Process_Date: 2013 Process_Step: Process_Description: Sample preparation and analysis - Prior to processing, thin sections of the samples were petrographically inspected to ensure that mineral specimens selected for dating were free of alteration. Rock samples that we found to be suitable for dating by 40Ar/39Ar geochronology analysis were submitted to the Geochronology Laboratory at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) where they were dated according to the protocols outlined in the accompanying report. Process_Date: 2013 Process_Step: Process_Description: The text and tables were revised to correct inconsistencies and to clarify reporting of the preferred ages.
