 Text Description:
The glass major-element composition reported here is the average of eight samples: UA207, UA372, UT389, UT491, UT734, UT735, UT746, UT845. The glass trace element compositions reported here are also the average of analyses of multiple samples: UT491, UT734, UT735, UT746, UT845 (ICPMS); UA207, UT491, UT734, UT746 (LAICPMS); UA207, UT491, UT734, UT746, UT845 (INAA)

Westgate_2001_Sheep_Creek_Tephra_F_Average64.8-147.69997Westgate, J. A. -188050--Sheep Creek tephra (SCt) refers to a family of tephra beds that closely resemble one another in their petrographic and compositional characteristics (Westgate et al. 2007). SCt-F is present at different localities in Fairbanks, Alaska. Generic location selected in Fairbanks, AK. Glass geochemical data reported here is average calculated from analyses of multiple tephra correlated across different stratigraphic locations. Individual sample IDs are noted in the sample description (see Westgate et al. 2007 footnote of table 5).The glass major-element composition reported here is the average of eight samples: UA207, UA372, UT389, UT491, UT734, UT735, UT746, UT845. The glass trace element compositions reported here are also the average of analyses of multiple samples: UT491, UT734, UT735, UT746, UT845 (ICPMS); UA207, UT491, UT734, UT746 (LAICPMS); UA207, UT491, UT734, UT746, UT845 (INAA)Westgate_2001_SCt-FTephra FallCumulateGlass 71.98 0.26 16.24 1.91 0.07 0.59 2.56 4.3 1.89 4365EMP1.91Cl=0.08; H2O=5.09EMP 0.65 35 718 682 10.1 18.2 2.11 8.1 1.42 0.6 1.42 0.2 1.13 0.22 0.73 0.07 0.7 0.1 6.1 107 3.31 2.87 0.21 2.7 1.73 3.41 5.14 55 4365LA-ICP: Cs, Rb, Ba, Sr, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Y, Zr, Nb, Hf, Ta, Th, U; INAA: Sc, Co, Zn;
