Intraplate Basalt Geochemical Analysis From 85 Worldwide Regions

This Excel file contains a substantial dataset (>5900 samples) of geochemical analysis of young intraplate basalts (IPB) (< 10 Ma) from around the globe. It was compiled from multiple published studies in a recent study (Wood, 2025), and used to determine a worldwide average IPB composition (WLD) for major elements, trace elements and Nd-, Sr- and Pb- isotopes. The data included in the WLD average considers samples from 83 of the 85 regions. The samples are derived mainly from the intraplate volcanic dataset (>25000 samples) compiled by Ball et al. (2021), with information sourced mainly from the GEOROC (2025) database, and supplemented by additional studies cited in Wood (2025). The rock types considered in that dataset include basalt, basanite and picrobasalt. Wood, D.A. 2025.
