The Michigan Geological Repository for Research and Education at Western Michigan University archives analytical (ED-XRF) elemental data from subsurface cores from the Michigan Basin. This data was generated through an instrumentation grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (Award #1636441). The data can be accessed in a variety of formats via the links below.
