Various geomechanical tests were conducted on the Remlinger Sandstone (REM), Bentheimer Sandstone (SBE25-GH), and Tromm Granite (TR) to determine their tensile strength, unconfined compressive strength, and triaxial compressive strength.
The following summary data for Remlinger Sandstone (REM), Bentheimer Sandstone (SBE25-GH), and Tromm Granite (TR) were collected:
Remlinger Sandstone (REM):
• 5 Brazilian Tensile Tests with a tensile strength of 5.71 MPa and a standard deviation of 0.33 MPa
• 3 Unconfined Compression Tests with an unconfined compressive strength of 78.65 MPa and a standard deviation of 5.52 MPa
Bentheimer Sandstone (SBE25-GH):
• 5 Brazilian Tensile Tests with a tensile strength of 2.98 MPa and a standard deviation of 0.43 MPa
• 2 Unconfined Compression Tests with an unconfined compressive strength of 29.86 MPa and a standard deviation of 0.09 MPa
Tromm Granite (TR):
• 2 Brazilian Tensile Tests with a tensile strength of 11.56 MPa and a standard deviation of 0.75 MPa
• 2 Unconfined Compression Tests with an unconfined compressive strength of 160.97 MPa and a standard deviation of 7.35 MPa
The data for the individual experiments, organized by rock type, are available as separate worksheets in the Excel files in the download section. A detailed description of the data structure is also provided there.
Part seven of a series of data sets dealing with the composition of accessory minerals from felsic igneous rocks reports chemical data for monazite-(Ce) and zircon from eight occurrences of high-Si felsic microgranites/rhyolites in the Erzgebirge−Vogtland metallogenic province of Germany, which possibly emplaced between 305 and 295 Ma. The subvolcanic rocks are discriminated into three groups according to whole-rock geochemistry. Mineral data are acquired between about 1995 and 2005 on surface rocks and borehole samples.
The data set contains the complete pile of electron-microprobe analyses for monazite-(Ce) (MONA-VOLC-2020) and zircon (ZIRC-VOLC-2020). All tables are presented as Excel (xlsx) and machine-readable csv formats. The content of the tables and further information on the granites and regional geology are provided in the data description file. Information on xenotime-(Y), which is commonly rare and did not precipitate in all rhyolites, and rhabdophane-(Ce), which was observed only ones as alteration product of monazite-(Ce), is provided elsewhere (cf. data description file).
