Whole rock geochemical data for altered and mineralized rocks, Red Dog Zn-Pb-Ag district, western Brooks Range, Alaska
This report presents geochemical analyses for 220 mostly altered and mineralized rock samples from the Red Dog Zn-Pb-Ag district in the western Brooks Range of northern Alaska. These data form the basis for a study by Slack et al. (2004a) on hydrothermal silicification and related alteration in wall...
