      <abstract>This dataset includes major-, minor-, and trace-element analyses by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and trace-element analyses by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) of olivine, plagioclase, clinopyroxene, and orthopyroxene minerals from scoria and lava samples from the Kamakaiʻa Hills of the Southwest Rift Zone of Kīlauea volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, USA. Chemical analyses by EPMA were performed at the U.S. Geological Survey in Moffett Field, California, and LA-ICP-MS chemical analyses were performed at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington.</abstract>
      <purpose>The data were collected as part of volcanic research on the Kamakaiʻa Hills of the Southwest Rift Zone of Kīlauea volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi. Samples were used to quantitatively measure major-, minor-, and trace-element by electron microprobe (EPMA) and trace-element abundances by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) on the minerals of clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, plagioclase, and olivine.</purpose>

        <procdesc>Mineral (clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, plagioclase, and olivine) compositions from the Kamakaiʻa Hills flow field were analyzed on polished thin sections using a five spectrometer JEOL Hyperprobe JXA-8530F+ electron microprobe at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California. Secondary standards were routinely measured to assess data quality and monitor for drift. For all EPMA data, X-ray intensities were converted to concentrations using standard ZAF corrections based on atomic number (Z), absorption (A), and fluorescence excitation (F). Analyses with totals &lt;98.5 and &gt;101 wt. % were rejected. Spot analyses of pyroxene and olivine were performed using an accelerating voltage of 20 keV, a 15 nA beam current, a 5 µm beam diameter, and count times of 20 seconds (Si, Mg, and Fe), 40 seconds (Ca, Mn, Al, Na, Ti, and Cr), and 60 seconds (Ni). San Carlos Olivine USNM 111312/444 and Clinopyroxene PX-1 (Jarosewich and others, 1980) were analyzed as unknowns to monitor for analytical drift. Spot analyses of plagioclase were performed using an accelerating voltage of 15 keV, a 10 nA beam current, a 5 µm beam diameter, and count times of 10 seconds (Na and K), 20 seconds (Si, Al, and Ca), and 40 seconds (Fe, Mg, Sr, and Ba). Crystal Bay Bytownite, Orthoclase OR-1A, and Strontianite (Jarosewich and others, 1980) were analyzed as unknowns to monitor for analytical drift.

        <procdesc>Trace element mineral compositions of crystals were measured on an Agilent 7900 quadruple ICP-MS equipped with a RESOlution-SE 193 nm ArF excimer laser ablation introduction system at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. Ablation conditions include a 24 μm diameter spot size, laser repetition rate of 10 Hz, and a fluence of 2 J/cm2. The carrier gas, He, was set at a flow rate of 400 mL/min and mixed with 1000 mL/min of Ar. The masses collected constitute 7Li, 23Na, 25Mg, 27Al, 29Si, 39K, 43Ca, 45Sc, 47Ti, 51V, 53Cr, 55Mn, 57Fe, 59Co, 60Ni, 65Cu, 66Zn, 85Rb, 88Sr, 89Y, 90Zr, 93Nb, 137Ba, and 153Eu. The SRM glass NIST-610 was used for tuning, USGS basaltic glass GSD-1G was used as the calibration standard, and USGS basaltic glasses GSE-1G, BCR-2G, and BHVO-2G were used as secondary standards and compared to GeoReM preferred concentrations (Jochum and others, 2005). Fractionation was monitored using 238U/232Th and adjusted to be ~1. Interferences for oxides were monitored using 248ThO/232Th and were &lt;0.09%, and interferences for doubly-charged ions were monitored using 44Ca++/44Ca+ and were &lt;0.11%. Data were processed using the data reduction software GLITTER (Griffin and others, 2008) with Mg and Al as the internal standards for ferromagnesian phases and feldspar, respectively.
