AB - Major and trace element abundances in two different fragments of reference material basalt glass BCR‐2G are reported. The data were obtained by ion and electron microprobe and represent both random point and profile analyses. Major and trace element abundances are constant within a few per mil and a few percent, respectively. This overall homogeneity is valid for scales of a few tens of micrometres to a few tens of centimetres. It is shown that the difference in the scatter of apparent element abundances is not due to chemical heterogeneity but reflects analytical uncertainty. Within error, the concentrations of both the major and lithophile trace elements in BCR‐2G appear to be identical to the bulk dry weight abundances in BCR‐1. Possible exceptions are the alkali metals.
