Abstract

This article presents a dataset of geochemical analyses from Silurian altered volcanic ash beds (bentonites) characterising 132 eruptions and preserved in sedimentary sections of the East Baltic area. TiO2, Nb, Zr, Th, Y, Ce, Cr and V ratios with Al2O3 are used for identifying correlations between ash beds from Scandinavian sections. Some correlated ash beds are illustrated by schematic maps of areal distribution indicating volcanic sources from directions of both Iapetus and Rheic palaeo-ocean margins.
