Puerto Rico new radiometric age analyses
December 16, 2024
This dataset contains U-Pb isotopic data and associated ages of zircons from selected igneous rocks collected from the region surrounding and including the uplands of the United States Territory of Puerto Rico. The samples were collected as part of geological mapping and research conducted during 2018 and funded by the Mineral Resources Program of the U.S. Geological Survey. Zircon grains were separated and analyzed by GeoSep Services (GSS) in 2019 using laser-ablation-inductively-coupled-plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) techniques.

Geologic map of the Greater Antilles and Virgin Islands Geologic map of the Greater Antilles and Virgin Islands
Introduction The geologic map of the Greater Antilles and Virgin Islands is a compilation of information from the literature, integrated to provide a seamless geologic map of the region. This map was prepared to serve as a base map for a mineral resource assessment of the region. Several small-scale regional geologic maps of the region have been prepared in the past. This report...
