Description

This dataset contains electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) major-element data and LA-ICP-MS trace-element data for plagioclase-rich lithologic units in lunar meteorites, together with complete ^40Ar/^39Ar step-heating analytical results and ArArCALC data-reduction records for seven meteorite samples: NWA 13120, NWA 14703, NWA 14704, NWA 14705, NWA 14706, NWA 15062, and NWA 15063. The geochemical data are compiled in Appendix A, whereas the ^40Ar/^39Ar data are provided as seven ArArCALC workbooks. These data support the investigation of mineral chemistry, lithological and textural variability, Eu anomalies, and impact–thermal resetting of plagioclase-rich lunar meteorites.
