Abstract
Analytical data compiled on nine Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ) reference samples, “Sedimentary rock series” received by February 1996 are reported. After excluding outliers and examining critically the analytical procedures employed, the data were evaluated statistically. Recommended or preferable values for fifteen major and sixty minor and trace elements are proposed.
