This dataset comprises new chemical, isotopic and geochronological analyses for 3 samples from the Cenomanian Serra do Cuó olivine basalts from northeast Brazil. Whole rock major, trace element and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope compositions as well as mineral oxide compositions for pyroxenes, plagioclase, olivine, and Fe-Ti oxides. New analyses on 3 samples are presented in the bulk and in-situ data templates developed by EarthChem. A compilation of all new analyses and previous whole-rock data from Sial (1978) are also provided. Analyses were carried out at the Geoanalítica Core Facility, Isotope Geology Research Center and Geochronological Research Center (CPGeo) at the Instituto de Geociências, University of São Paulo, Brazil. This dataset is supplementary to: Macêdo Filho, A. A., Oliveira, A. L., Klöcking, M., Janasi, V. A., Archanjo, C. J., & Lino, L. M. (2025).
