Three Icelandic basalts for resampling of BIR basalt for production of ISO-certification of whole rock powder
Abstract The USGS has suspended the distribution of the widely used whole rock reference materials BHVO, BCR and BIR. The goal of this work is to identify a material as similar as possible to the original BIR Islandic basalt. This material can then undergo an ISO-compliant certification of the whole...
