These analyses contribute to understanding the geologic history of this area. Sample locations and characteristics, along with measured isotopic ratios and calculated ages are provided in CSV format.

Radiometric age and supporting measurements for these rocks to understand their geologic history. Data are provided in CSV format.

Statistics for over 88 nonfuel mineral commodities including items such as production, imports, exports, price, stocks, apparent consumption, and/or net import reliance for nonfuel mineral commodities. Data are provided in CSV format.

Chemical analysis of geological materials at this EPA Superfund site located on lands of the Hopi and Navajo nations, which may contain mine waste.
