Preparation of a New Geological Survey of Japan Geochemical Reference Material: Coral JCp‐1

Abstract

A new geochemical reference material, coral Porites sp. JCp‐1 has been prepared by the Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ). Provisional values for twenty one major, minor and trace elements are presented. The homogeneity tests showed that all elements studied are considered to be homogeneously distributed.
