Evaluation method description:
The information compiled in the spreadsheet was obtained from the results of previous work that had been
conducted throughout the province of Alberta. Within the dataset there are two main worksheets, one for
silicate xenocrysts (garnets, clinopyroxenes, olivines and phlogopites) and the other for oxide
xenocrysts (spinels and ilmenites). In both of the worksheets generic geochemistry fields were captured
as well as a few additional geochemistry fields in the cases of olivines, phlogopites, ilmenites and
spinels. There are some fields within the two worksheets that were not captured and are marked by a
blank cell.

Measure description:
The dataset was validated by transferring the data from the original dataset into an Access database.
During this process it was determined that primary keys needed to be established and the 'non-printable'
characters within some of the sample numbers needed to be removed. Primary keys were established by
modifying sample numbers or the grain identifiers assigned to each sample. The 'non-printable'
characters were replaced by a dash and were removed by using a function in excel.

Description:
The Kimberlite Xenocryst dataset consists of a series of worksheets within an excel spreadsheet that
contains data and information about microprobe data for silicate and oxide xenocrysts minerals from
various ultrabasic to kimberlite rock occurrences in the Northern kimberlite province.
The data within the spreadsheet was later normalized and then transferred into a database for the
purpose of creating metadata. During this process there were certain aspects of the dataset that
were modified to establish primary keys and to remove 'non-printable' characters from the sample
numbers.
The silicate grains were analyzed using an accelerating voltage of 15 kV, beam diameter of 1 to 10
micrometres (um), beam current of 15 nanoamperes (nA), and a maximum counting time for each element
of 40 seconds. Oxide grains were analyzed using an accelerating voltage of 20 kV, beam diameter of 1
um, beam current of 20 nA, and a maximum counting time for each major cation of 40 seconds.
Secondary standards were regularly analyzed to ensure the calibration remained valid throughout the
probing session.
