Dataset description: Microprobe data for rock samples from the Escanaba Trough (Gorda Ridge)

This data release contains electron microprobe data collected on thin sections made from rock samples collected from the Escanaba Trough hydrothermal vent field, Gorda Ridge, in the northeast Pacific Ocean. These data were collected in 2022 on expedition TN403 (USGS Field Activity 2022-621-FA). Samples were taken to the USGS Pacific Coastal Marine Science Center for subsampling and geochemical analyses.
