Multi-element chemical analyses for A-horizon soil samples. Includes site identification, latitude, longitude, year the sample was collected, and the estimated thickness of the sampled horizon. File gives quantitative results for 28 elements. Additional elements were analyzed but not reported as they were consistently below detection limits for 90% to 100% of samples tested. These eliminated elements and their detection limits in parts per million are: Ag (2), Au (8), Be (1), Bi (10), Cd (2), Eu (2), Ho (4), Mo (2), Nd (2), Sn (5), Ta (40), Th (6), and U (100). Ga is excluded as the relative percent difference between duplicates were typically > 25%.

Multi-element chemical compositions lake sediment core collected from a series of 1-meter cores from a single borehole in Sargent Lake, Isle Royale. Includes field number; sample descriptions, estimated depth (in centimeters) from the top of the water-sediment interface (sample depths increase with depth down hole), and quantitative results for 31 elements. Additional elements were analyzed but are not reported as they were consistently below detection limit for 90% to 100% of samples tested. Those eliminated elements and their detection limits in parts per million are: Ag (2), Au (8), Be (1), Bi (10), Cd (2), Eu (2), Ho (4), Mo (2), Sn (5), Ta (40), U (100) and Yb (1). Ga is not included as the relative percent difference between duplicates were consistently >25%.
