The sampling area is located east (E-domain) and west (W-domain) of the Münchberg gneiss massif, NE Bavaria. Germany. Major and trace element compositions and Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope composition of a selected subset of Ordovician samples and post- Devonian samples of mafic igneous rocks are documented in the Table 1 'E-domain'. Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope composition of selected mafic igneous rocks from the W-domain of Ordovicician, Silurian, and Devonian age are documented together with the previously analysed Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, U-Th-Pb concentrations (Höhn et. al., 2018, doi:10.1007/s00531-017-1497-2) in the Table 2 'W-domain'.
This dataset contains geochemical variables measured in six depth profiles from ombrotrophic peatlands in North and Central Europe. Peat cores were taken during the spring and summer of 2022 from Amtsvenn (AV1), Germany; Drebbersches Moor (DM1), Germany; Fochteloër Veen (FV1), the Netherlands; Bagno Kusowo (KR1), Poland; Pichlmaier Moor (PI1), Austria and Pürgschachen Moor (PM1), Austria. The cores AV1, DM1 and KR1 were taken using a Wardenaar sampler (Royal Eijkelkamp, Giesbeek, the Netherlands) and had diameter of 10 cm. The cores FV1, PM1 and PI1 had an 8 cm diameter and were obtained using an Instorf sampler (Royal Eijkelkamp, Giesbeek, the Netherlands). The cores FV1, DM1 and KR1 were 100 cm, core AV1 was 95 cm, core PI1 was 85 cm and core PM1 was 200 cm. The cores were subsampeled in 1 cm (AV1, DM1, KR1, FV1) and 2 cm (PI1, PM1) sections. The subsamples were milled after freeze drying in a ballmill using tungen carbide accesoires. X-Ray Fluorescence (WD-XRF; ZSX Primus II, Rigaku, Tokyo, Japan) was used to determine Al (μg g-1), As (μg g-1), Ba (μg g-1), Br (μg g-1), Ca (g g-1), Cl (μg g-1), Cr (μg g-1), Cu (μg g-1), Fe (g g-1), K (g g-1), Mg (μg g-1), Mn (μg g-1), Na (μg g-1), P (μg g-1), Pb (μg g-1), Rb (μg g-1), S (μg g-1), Si (μg g-1), Sr (μg g-1), Ti (μg g-1) and Zn (μg g-1). These data were processed and calibrated using the iloekxrf package (Teickner & Knorr, 2024) in R. C, N and their stable isotopes were determined using an elemental analyser linked to an isotope ratio mass spectrometer (EA-3000, Eurovector, Pavia, Italy & Nu Horizon, Nu Instruments, Wrexham, UK). C and N were given in units g g-1 and stable isotopes were given as δ13C and δ15N for stable isotopes of C and N, respectively. Raw data C, N and stable isotope data were calibrated with certified standard and blank effects were corrected with the ilokeirms package (Teickner & Knorr, 2024). Using Fourier Transform Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-MIR) (Agilent Cary 670 FTIR spectromter, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, Ca, USA) humification indices (HI) were determined. Spectra were recorded from 600 cm-1 to 4000 cm-1 with a resolution of 2 cm-1 and baselines corrected with the ir package (Teickner, 2025) to estimate relative peack heights. The HI (no unit) for each sample was calculated by taking the ratio of intensities at 1630 cm-1 to the intensities at 1090 cm-1. Bulk densities (g cm-3) were estimated from FT-MIR data (Teickner et al., in preparation).

Trace element contents in microg/g measured on the <2 microns, 2-20 microns size fractions and bulk samples from LGM European loess sequences. Samples were crushed in an agate mortar and trace element concentrations were measured following Chauvel et al. (2011). Reproducibility for trace element analyses is better than 5% based on repeat measurements, and the accuracy is also better than 5%, based on the analyses of international rock standards (JSD-1, JSD-3 and LKSD-1.
Sr-Pb isotopic ratios for the <2 microns, 2-20 microns size fractions and bulk samples from LGM European loess sequences. Samples were crushed in an agate mortar and Sr and Pb isotopes were measured following Chauvel et al. (2011). Lead and strontium were analyzed after dissolution of the powder and without leaching procedure. Blanks run in parallel with the samples during the course of this work were less than 80 pg of Pb and 250 pg of Sr for the entire chemical separation procedure. These amounts are negligible relative to the amount of Pb and Sr present in the beakers after isolation of pure Pb and Sr (typically, 600 ng of Pb and 4 microg of Sr).
In a previous analysis of bulk sediment from Last Glacial Maximum loess deposits over Europe, a local to regional origin of the deposited material has been demonstrated (Rousseau et al., 2014). In a refined study, the same European sequences have been analyzed studying the trace elements and the strontium and lead isotopic ratios from different grain-size fractions: <2 micron, 2-20 micron and bulk. The later was reanalyzed to compare with the previous study. First the new bulk values are similar to the previously published ones. Furthermore, the results show that the <2 micron fraction is different than the 2-20 micron or bulk ones when comparing the trace element. Second, the 87Sr/86Sr vs 208Pb/204Pb diagram shows that the sequences analyzed keep their regional to local signature, mainly along the 87Sr/86Sr axis for the 2-20 micron and bulk samples. On the contrary, the <2 micron samples are all grouped in a well identified cluster clearly indicating a different source and even a different transport. The comparison of the results of the geochemical analysis with climate modeling of dust transport at LGM supports this interpretation. The datasets correspond to i) the code and geographical coordinates, ii) the trace element contents for the <2 micron, 2-20 micron and bulk fractions, iii) the Sr-Pb isotopic ratios for the <2 micron, 2-20 micron and bulk fractions, and iv) the grain size composition of the studied LGM European loess samples.
A literature retrieval was performed for whole rock geochemical analyses of sedimentary, magmatic and metamorphic rocks in the catchment of River Thuringian Saale for the past 600 Ma. Considering availability and coincidence with paleontological an facies data the following indicators seem suitable to detect environmental and climatic changes: biogenic P for Paleoproductivity, STI Index for weathering intensity, Ni/Co-ratio for redox conditions, relative enrichments of Co, Ba and Rb versus crustal values for volcanic activity at varying differentiation. The Mg/Ca-ratio as proxy for salinity is applicable in evaporites. The binary plot Nb/Y versus Zr/TiO2 indicates a presently eroded volcanic level of the Bohemian Massif as catchment area for the Middle Bunter, whereas higly differentiated volcanics provided source material for Neoproterozoic greywackes. A positive Eu-anomaly is limited to the Lower Bunter and implies mafic source rocks perhaps formerly located in the Bohemian Massif.
The sampling area is located east (E-domain) and west (W-domain) of the Münchberg gneiss massif, NE Bavaria. Germany. Major and trace element compositions and Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope composition of a selected subset of Ordovician samples and post- Devonian samples of mafic igneous rocks are documented in the Table 1 'E-domain'. Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope composition of selected mafic igneous rocks from the W-domain of Ordovicician, Silurian, and Devonian age are documented together with the previously analysed Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, U-Th-Pb concentrations (Höhn et. al., 2018, doi:10.1007/s00531-017-1497-2) in the Table 2 'W-domain'.
