<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field and surrounding region is made up of over 3 billion years of geologic history, with 300+ separate rock types. To increase our understanding of the evolution of this active system and direct priorities for sample collection and field study, we compiled whole rock geochemical datasets from numerous thesis and papers (17 in total). We present these data in a standardized format and include location information and details on analytical methods when available.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Data were downloaded and minimally modified by the Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) in March, 2025 for simplified display on the interactive Geology of Yellowstone Map. Not every field in the “Yellowstone_Whole_Rock_Data.xlsx” file is displayed, and several fields were given new headers. The “Publication link” field was added to direct users to the original publication from which the data originate. 328 records were excluded due to missing location data. The WSGS has not formally reviewed or quality-controlled these data; users are encouraged to consult the original data source.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
To compile geochemical data on whole-rock samples of volcanic rocks associated with the Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field.

Data accuracy was not assessed. The data release compiles data previously reported in the literature. Accuracy assessments should be made by looking at the original publications.
All values fall within the expected range. Data were checked for duplication/omission.
The dataset contains whole-rock geochemical data compiled from numerous thesis and papers (17 in total). To our knowledge, this encompasses most, if not all, of the whole-rock data freely available for the Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field.

Not conducted
Searched and queried papers/theses for whole-rock geochemical data from volcanic rocks related to the Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field. Those that did contain whole-rock data were then downloaded. If possible, the data were downloaded as Excel workbooks or copied and pasted into Excel. In cases where no Excel workbook could be found, or the data could not be copied and pasted, the data was entered into Excel manually. Oxide data was normalized volatile free, with totals presented as original.
