title: Granulite-facies rock composition, Appendix C data for "A reference Earth model for the heat producing elements and associated geoneutrino flux"

description: This dataset is a compilation of chemical composition of global distributed granulite-facies rocks. Both meta-igneous and meta-sedimentary rocks are included. The goal of this compilation is to estimate the average composition of lower continental crust, where the temperature and pressure is close to granulite-facies metamorphism condition.
