Abstract: This digital data release includes geochemical mass balance data for the determination of mineral composition from X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of selected samples from Alberta stratigraphic units evaluated for their shale- and siltstone-hosted hydrocarbon resource potential. The samples are from the following units:
- Belle Fourche Formation,
- Fish Scales Formation,
- Muskwa Formation,
- Shaftesbury Formation, and
- Westgate Formation
