This data set contains geochemical data for rock samples collected by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) personnel and analyzed either in the analytical laboratories of the Geologic Discipline of the USGS or by contract with commercial analytical laboratories. These data represent analyses of rock samples collected in support of various USGS programs. In addition to recent data, this data set includes archived geochemical data originally entered into the in-house Rock Analysis Storage System (RASS) database (used by the Geologic Discipline from the mid-1960's through the late-1980's) and the in-house PLUTO database (used by the Geologic Discipline from the mid-1970's through the mid-1990's). All of these data are maintained in the Oracle-based National Geochemical Database (NGDB). A retrieval from the NGDB was used to generate this data set.
