Reference materials - rock samples SY-2, SY-3, MRG-1 / Sydney Abbey.: M38-13/79-35E-PDF

"Two samples of syenite and one of gabbro were prepared for use as reference material. Analytical data on the composition of the three samples known as SY-2, SY-3 and MRG-1 were reported for more than 100 laboratories from around the world. The analytical methods are described systematically for purposes of comparison, and procedures for deriving assigned values are detailed for both major and minor elements as well as for some of the more common trace elements. Values that are less certain are suggested for less common constituents"--Abstract, p. iii.
