Recent estimates of the abundances of the elements in the earth's crust

Abstract

This is a compilation of estimates of the abundances of the elements, taken from nine papers published between 1924 and 1952. They are arranged in three tables: (1) weight percents of the 25 most abundant elements, (2) abundances of the first 92 elements arranged in order of atomic number, and (3) abundances of the first 92 elements arranged alphabetically.
