Databases are increasingly playing a pivotal role in the field of Earth Sciences. This paper presents a comprehensive database of igneous rocks from the Newfoundland Appalachians. The database comprises a collection of 15,202 datasets with a data analysis platform. Each dataset includes detailed information on geographic location (latitude and longitude), geological background, petrology, geochronology, major and trace elements, isotopes, and references. The data were compiled from published papers, publicly available databases, geological survey reports, and academic dissertations. The database offers several advantages: (1) a systematic and complementary data model aligned with the knowledge systems of igneous rock; (2) a broad range of data collected from diverse sources over a period of more than 50 years; and (3) an efficient platform for searchability and usability. This dataset is helpful to support a wide range of scientific research objectives related to igneous rocks in the Newfoundland Appalachians.
数据库在地球科学领域正发挥着越来越关键的作用。本文展示了一个来自纽芬兰阿巴拉契亚地区火成岩的综合数据库。该数据库包含15202个数据集以及一个数据分析平台。每个数据集都包含有关地理位置（纬度和经度）、地质背景、岩石学、地质年代学、主量和微量元素、同位素以及参考文献的详细信息。这些数据是从已发表的论文、公开可用的数据库、地质调查报告和学术论文中汇编而来的。该数据库具有以下几个优点：（1）一个与火成岩知识体系相一致的系统且互补的数据模型；（2）在50多年的时间里从不同来源收集的广泛数据；（3）一个便于搜索和使用的高效平台。这个数据集有助于支持与纽芬兰阿巴拉契亚地区火成岩相关的广泛科学研究目标。
