Rock sample data from the footwall of the Kangaroo Caves Cu-Zn deposit, Pilbara, Western Australia

The 11 rock samples in this dataset have been collected for the characterization of hydrothermal alteration zonation in the footwall of the Kangaroo Caves volcanogenic massif sulfide deposit in the East Pilbara Granite Greenstone Terrane in Western Australia. The rock samples were collected along a transect that crosscut several alteration zones, one chlorite-quartz and two quartz-sericite alteration zones. Samples were acquired during a field visit in 2003.
