Geosciences Reference Datasets
Reference datasets commonly used in the geosciences. These include standard atomic weights of the elements, a periodic table, a list of minerals including their abbreviations and chemistry, geochemical data of reservoirs (primitive mantle, continental crust, mantle, basalts, etc.), decay constants and isotopic ratios frequently used in geochronology, color codes of the chronostratigraphic chart. In addition, the package provides functions for basic queries of atomic weights, the list of minerals, and chronostratigraphic chart colors. All datasets are fully referenced, and a BibTeX file containing the references is included.
