Abstract:
This article presents a curated dataset of major and trace element compositions from ultramafic minerals in the Ab-Bid complex, an ophiolitic massif within the Esfandagheh-Hadji Abad mélange zone in Southern Iran. Samples were collected from orthopyroxenite dykes and their host peridotites. Major element analyses were performed using wavelength-dispersive electron microprobe analysis (EPMA), and trace elements were measured via laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). The dataset comprises six structured Excel tables covering orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, olivine, and spinel compositions, including rare earth and high field strength element distributions. Analytical metadata such as spot identifiers, standardization protocols, and operating conditions are included to ensure reproducibility. The data facilitate applications in melt-rock interaction modeling, mineral thermometry, and suprasubduction zone geochemical comparison. Researchers interested in mantle processes, subduction-related metasomatism, or petrological database development will find this dataset particularly valuable.
