Sample descriptions, Bergslagen, Sweden August 2013

NOTE 1: Samples labeled AW were washed in dilute HCl to dissolve carbonates which were present. (All samples were tested for reactivity in HCl during preparation)

NOTE 2: All samples were magnetically separated and the magnetic fraction was analysed. Sample 2232C (Grangesberg) was the only one with a significant quantity of non-magnetic material and both the magnetic and non-magnetic split of this sample was analysed.

Samples are listed in sample number order, matching the order of discussion in the bergslagen explanatory results page.
