Description
Summary:This work presents the first geochemical characterization data of Scaglia Bianca Fm chert from Central Italy. The dataset is part of the chert reference collection (SiliROck) of Sapienza, University of Rome, and includes 110 chert samples collected from Abruzzo, Latium and Umbria regions. The samples have been previously examined using solely non-destructive techniques: petrographic analysis using a stereomicroscope, and geochemical analysis through portable X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (pXRF). In this study, we report a comprehensive dataset of geochemical data of chert samples originated in the Scaglia Bianca Fm, open and reusable to researchers to gain a detailed overview of Scaglia Bianca chert for provenance analysis.
