40Ar/39Ar ages of alkali feldspar xenocrysts constrain the timing of intraplate basaltic volcanism

Major element data, 40Ar/39Ar step-heating and step-crushing data for anorthoclase megacrysts from the Newer Volcanic Province, south-eastern Australia

“… We provide the dataset associated with the research article “ 40 Ar/ 39 Ar ages of alkali feldspar xenocrysts constrain the timing of intraplate basaltic volcanism” Matchan et al [1] . This dataset contains major element data for 15 large anorthoclase xenocrysts (‘megacrysts’) collected from six Pleistocene eruption centres (Mount Leura, Mount Shadwell, Mount Noorat, Mount Franklin, Lake Keilambete and The Anakies (East Cone)) in the basaltic Newer Volcanic Province of south-eastern Australia.…”
