Abstract
Reviews already published on the state of "standard samples" of silicate rocks and minerals, as well as of some samples of others materials that can be used as reference standards for the general analysis of silicate rocks and minerals, have been updated. Usable values of varying degrees of reliability are suggested for major, minor and trace constituents of nearly one hundred different samples. Presentation of the information has been improved with a view to making it more convenient for readers' use.
