PI supplied instrument name: Costech elemental analyzer
Dataset-specific description

Dried samples of basalt (20–70 mg) were placed into tin foil capsules for isotopic analysis of 13C/12C ratios. Samples were analyzed using a Costech elemental analyzer in line with a Micromass Isoprime continuous flow stable isotope mass spectrometer.
