Eight (8) RStudio codes written to model REE and Sr isotope compositions plus Y of bulk rocks and minerals from the four stages (CH1 to CH4) of the 400-6 ka old Chachmbiro Volcanic Complex (CVC) in the frontal arc of Northern Ecuador. RStudio Code REE_Modelling_WR_CH1 reports AFC modelling of REE compositions of the average composition of CH1 low SiO2 andesitic rocks from a basaltic parent RStudio Code REE_Modelling_WR_CH2_3 reports AFC modelling of REE compositions of the average composition of CH2-CH3 high SiO2 andesitic rocks from a CH1-type andesitic parent RStudio Code REE_Modelling_WR_CH4 reports AFC modelling of REE compositions of the average composition of CH4 rhyodacitic rocks from a CH1-type andesitic parent RStudio Code REE_Modelling_Cpx_CH1 reports FC modelling of REE compositions of the average composition of a melt in equilibrium with Cpx of CH1 rocks from a CH1-type andesitic parent RStudio Code REE_Modelling_AmphTr_A reports FC modelling of REE compositions of the average composition of a melt in equilibrium with AmphTr_A amphiboles of CVC rocks from a CH1-type andesitic parent RStudio Code REE_Modelling_AmphTr_B reports FC modelling of REE compositions of the average composition of a melt in equilibrium with AmphTr_B amphiboles of CVC rocks from a CH1-type andesitic parent RStudio Code REE_Modelling_AmphTr_C reports FC modelling of REE compositions of the average composition of a melt in equilibrium with AmphTr_C amphiboles of CVC rocks from a CH1-type andesitic parent RStudio Code Sriso_Y_Modelling_CVC reports AFC modelling of CVC rocks in the 87Sr/86Sr versus Y space. These Codes are related to the ms Chiaradia et al. "Progressive build-up of a trans-crustal system beneath an adakite-like volcanic complex (Chachimbiro, Ecuador): an example of an embryonic porphyry Cu system?" by Chiarada et al. (2025). The associated data is available under https://doi.org/10.5880/fidgeo.2024.018 (Chiarada, 2025)
This dataset provides geochemical data from from the Quaternary Chachimbiro Volcanic Complex (CVC), situated in the Western Cordillera of Ecuador, Northern Andes (0.468°N, 78.287°W). The CVC is subdivided into 4 eruptive stages (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) ranging in age between ~400 and ~4 ka ago (Bellver-Baca et al., 2020). The CH1 stage consists of andesitic flows erupted between 405.7 ± 20.0 and 298.6 ± 32.9 ka with collapse of the pre-existing cone at the end of the effusive period (File #1). The following CH2 stage (121.75 ± 23.2 -36.08 ± 2.8 ka) consists of andesitic to dacitic domes and pyroclastic rocks which also suffered a collapse event as shown by the scar and the uprooted domes in the hillside of the edifice (File #1). The CH3 unit (36.08 ± 0.28 – 22.73 ± 0.12 ka) consists of two main andesitic to dacitic domes (Hugá and Albují: H and A, respectively, in File #1) and effusive rocks. CH4 consists of a volumetrically small rhyodacitic pyroclastic unit which was produced by a lateral blast dated at 5.5-5.8 ky ago. A younger pyroclastic episode (<4.15 ka ago) has been related to the Pucará dome (Comida, 2012), but rocks of this event have not been investigated in the present study. The bulk rock and mineral data are used to reconstruct the plumbing system beneath the CVC during its ~400 ka long lifetime. Since the temporal geochemical evolution of CVC bulk rocks towards higher values of adakite-like indices (e.g., Sr/Y, La/Yb) bears strong similarities to that of magmatic systems associated with supergiant porphyry copper deposits, these data may serve to better understand how adakite-like signatures are acquired in fertile arc magmatic systems with metallogenic implications.

A compilation of 90,688 published radiometric dates for sedimentary rocks from the South American Andes and adjacent parts of South America have been tabulated for access by researchers via GEOROC Expert Datasets. The compilation exists as a spreadsheet for access via MS Excel, Google Sheets, and other spreadsheet applications. Initial igneous compilations were utilized in two publications by the author, Pilger (1981, 1984). The compilations have been added to in subsequent years with the metamorphic and sedimentary compilations separated in the last few years. Locations in latitude and longitude are largely taken from the original source, if provided, with UTM locations maintained and converted; in some cases, sample locations were digitized from electronic maps if coordinates were otherwise not available. Analytical results are not included to prevent the files from becoming too large. The existing compilation incorporates compilations by other workers in smaller regions of the Andes. References to original and compilation sources are included. While I am updating reconstructions of the South American and Nazca/Farallon plates, incorporating recent studies in the three oceans, for comparison with the igneous dates for the past 80 m. y., it is hoped that the spreadsheets will be of value to other workers. Reliability: In most cases the data have been copy/pasted from published or appendix tables. In a few cases, the location has been digitized from published maps; the (equatorial equidistant) maps were copied into Google Earth and positioned according to indicated coordinates, with locations digitized and copied/pasted into the spreadsheet. (It is possible that published maps are conventional Mercator-based, even if not so identified, rather than either equatorial equidistant or Universal Transverse Mercator; this can be a source of error in location. For UTMs, the errors should be minor.) Duplicates are largely recognized by equivalent IDs, dates, and uncertainties. Where primary sources have been accessed, duplicate data points in compilations are deleted. (Analytic data are NOT included.) This compilation is part of a series. Companion compilations of radiometric dates from igneous and metamorphic rocks are available at https://doi.org/10.5880/digis.e.2023.005 and https://doi.org/10.5880/digis.e.2023.007, respectively.

The qualitative and quantitative phase analyses were performed in the KTB field laboratory by x-ray powder diffraction using SIEMENS D 500 diffractometer. During early stages of the KTB project a new method for quantitative phase analysis was developed (see references below). The method is based on the comparison of the diffraction spectrum of the unknown sample with those of pure minerals. The powder diffraction data of the minerals are stored in a database built up of 250 natural minerals separated from various types of igneous and metamorphic rocks. The complete analyses (radiation: Cu K alpha, lambda: 1,5405Å, stepwidth: 0,01°, counting time 2 sec/step, angle 2-80°) was carried out automatically including computations. The results of this quantitative phase analysis were used e.g. to check thin section petrography (and vice versa) and to construct a \"mineralogical rock composition log\".
