Abstract
This dataset comprises new chemical, isotopic and geochronological analyses for 3 samples from the Cenomanian Serra do Cuó olivine basalts from northeast Brazil. Whole rock major, trace element and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope compositions as well as mineral oxide compositions for pyroxenes, plagioclase, olivine, and Fe-Ti oxides. New analyses on 3 samples are presented in the bulk and in-situ data templates developed by EarthChem. A compilation of all new analyses and previous whole-rock data from Sial (1978) are also provided. Analyses were carried out at the Geoanalítica Core Facility, Isotope Geology Research Center and Geochronological Research Center (CPGeo) at the Instituto de Geociências, University of São Paulo, Brazil. This dataset is supplementary to: Macêdo Filho, A. A., Oliveira, A. L., Klöcking, M., Janasi, V. A., Archanjo, C. J., & Lino, L. M. (2025).

Geochemistry, 126248. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemer.2025.126248.

Additional Information
The DIGIS geochemical data repository is a research data repository in the Earth Sciences domain with a specific focus on geochemical data. The repository archives, publishes and makes accessible user-contributed, peer-reviewed research data in standardised form (EarthChem Team, 2022, https://doi.org/10.26022/IEDA/112263) that fall within the scope of the GEOROC database (https://georoc.eu). All submissions of new data will be considered for inclusion in the GEOROC database. It is hosted at GFZ Data Services through a collaboration between the Digital Geochemical Data Infrastructure (DIGIS) for GEOROC 2.0 (https://digis.geo.uni-goettingen.de) and the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences.
