This is a point data set.
Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest 0.00001. Longitudes are given to the nearest 0.00001. Latitude and longitude values are specified in decimal degrees.
The horizontal datum used is World Geodetic System of 1984.
The ellipsoid used is WGS 84.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257223563000025.
Generic example of a sample identifier: YYAAA9999X: YY=last two digits of year, AAA=geologist's initials (one to three characters), 9999=unique station number, X= optional alpha character which indicates that multiple samples were collected at a given location or that multiple observations were recorded in the project database.
The lab sample number is typically identical to the field sample number. However, in some cases, the sample number provided by the lab does differ from the number assigned in the field. We provide both numbers to document instances in which the sample numbers in the lab files differ from the field sample number.
The samples presented in this report were collected by the authors or other DGGS staff.

The type of material that was selected for dating varied according to mineral composition and grainsize of the submitted rock sample. This field specifies whether the age was derived from a mineral separate (generally 1 to 10 individual crystals dated together as a single run), a single crystal, or the whole rock.
The minerals selected for dating would typically be grains of biotite, hornblende, or muscovite.

The DGGS Mineral Resources section carried out geologic mapping and sampling in the eastern Denali Highway region between Watana Creek and Paxson from July 29 through August 7, 2015. The project focused on characterization of a broad section of Wrangellia stratigraphy, including Late Triassic rocks of the Ni-Cu-Co-PGE- and Cu-Ag-mineralized Wrangellia large igneous province, as well as modern geochemical characterizations of skarn-, vein-, and basalt-hosted Cu mineralization. The samples described in this report were selected and analyzed to improve our understanding of the geology and structural history of the Wrangellia Mineral Assessment project area.

This data is being released in the DGGS Raw Data File series. The information has been examined by several geologists familiar with the study area, but the data and accompanying report have not been formally reviewed for technical content or for conformity to the editorial standards of DGGS. Questions regarding the accuracy of information in the data files can be best answered by the originating lab.
Samples were collected with location coordinates (WGS84 datum) determined using handheld GPS units (Trimble Juno T5), with a reported accuracy of about 10 m.
