Phosphorus speciation and metal abundances in mafic and ultramafic rocks

The dataset includes abundances of phosphorus redox species (phosphate, phosphite, pyrophosphate) and metal abundances for a collection of mafic and ultramafic rocks. These include peridotites, komatiites and basalts from a variety of locations and ages. The results show that reduced and polymerized phosphorus is present in unaltered mafic and ultramafic rocks, in addition to phosphate. Therefore, oceanic crust can serve as a source of reactive phosphorus species.

Statement: Metal abundances were measured with ICP-MS and ICP-AES after acid digestions by ALS in Dublin, Ireland. Phoshporus speciation was measured after NaOH-EDTA leaching with a coupled ion chromatograph-ICP-MS at the University of St Andrews (see Baidya & Stüeken, 2023, doi.org/10.1002/rcm.9665).
