Abstract
Two reference rocks of the Geological Survey of Japan have been analyzed for Na, K, Sc, Cr, Fe, Co, Zn, Rb, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb, Lu, Hf, Ta, Th and U, using instrumental neutron activation analysis. The results are reported and compared with consensus values proposed in the literature. In general, the agreement is good except for Cs.
