- Purpose
- The purpose of the dataset is to make historical company-reported geochemical data digitally accessible and searchable through the GEUS sample database. The dataset supports geological and geochemical analyses but must be used with consideration of the documented methodological and analytical limitations.

- The dataset is digitally restored from historical company reports (scanned PDFs) using optical character recognition (OCR) and georeferencing of sample locations. Errors may have been introduced during scanning, OCR processing and digitisation. The match between geochemical analyses and geographic coordinates is not unambiguous in all cases, and samples may occur with coordinates but without geochemical results as well as geochemical results without unambiguous coordinates. Information on detection limits, analytical uncertainty, laboratories, methods and grain fractions is generally sparse or not reported in the original sources. During upload to the GEUS sample database, sample names and selected metadata fields were adjusted to comply with the database structure; sample names may therefore differ from those used in the reports. The dataset should be used with these limitations in mind, and the original reports should be consulted for documentation and scientific context.

- Supplemental Information
- The dataset is based on digital restoration of historical company reports. For full traceability, methodological context and any stated limitations, users should consult the original reports.

- Statement
- The dataset is based on four historical company reports (Allen & Harris, 1980; Coppard et al., 1992; Harris et al., 1992; Pearson & Joudrie, 1995). The reports were originally submitted in paper format and later scanned. The geochemical data were digitally restored through optical character recognition (OCR) of text and numerical values and through georeferencing of sample locations. Errors may have been introduced during scanning, OCR processing and digitisation. The matching between geochemical analyses and geographic coordinates is not unambiguous in all cases. Information on analytical methods, detection limits and measurement uncertainty is generally sparse or not reported in the original sources. During upload to the GEUS sample database, sample names and certain metadata fields were adjusted to comply with the database structure.
