The dataset contains full 40Ar/39Ar geochronological data completed by multi-collector noble-gas mass spectrometry using the laser total fusion technique on sanidine separated from the Drachenfels trachyte (Drachenfels, Bad Godesberg, Germany). The Drachenfels sanidine represents a useful intra-laboratory reference material for laser work. The purpose of the dataset is to share updated intercalibration data for the intra-laboratory Drachenfels sanidine, relative to the widespread fluence monitors Alder Creek sanidine and Fish Canyon sanidine, that can be used in future 40Ar/39Ar geochronological studies.
W. McIntosh (New Mexico Geochronology Research Laboratory, Socorro, NM), P. Renne (Berkeley Geochronology Center, Berkeley, CA) and J.R. Wijbrans (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, NL) kindly provided splits of FCs, ACs and DRA1, respectively. The Ar laserprobe facility was realized with the financial support of CNR. The CO2 laser system was acquired within the PNRR – Mission 4, “Education and Research” - Component 2, “From research to business” - Investment line 3.1, “Fund for the creation of an integrated system of research and innovation infrastructures” - Project IR0000025 MEET.
The dataset contain full 40Ar/39Ar geochronological data completed by multi collector noble gas mass spectrometry on plagioclase and glass separates from a tuff sample interbedded in Pleistocene marine claystone (Argille di Spadafora) of northeastern Sicily (Italy). Tuff unit VU7 was identified in the field using the published base map and stratigraphic nomenclature of Di Bella et al. (2016), which correlates to bathyal marine marl (Argille di Vito Superiore) in southern Calabria. The tuff contains stratified white lapilli with abundant fresh volcanic glass shards and was deposited by a submarine turbidity current from a single volcanic eruption.

This data publication contains a high resolution molecular dataset of a study aiming to trace variations in organic carbon sourcing along the Kali Gandaki River in Central Nepal. The data are on samples from different materials in the landscape (litter, soil, bedrock) and river sediments. On these samples we measured the extractable lipid fraction by measured by negative electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI-FT-ICR-MS). The data was generated between 2015-05 and 2017-12. Please consult the associated data description and Menges et al. (2020) for more details.
