Clarke value
In geochemistry, the Clarke value describes the mean mass fraction of a chemical element in the composition of the lithosphere . Various authors have compiled Clarke values. The information is given in grams per ton or in percent by mass. The size was named after the chemist and geologist Frank Wigglesworth Clarke .

Regional Clark values are set for the purposes of environmental geochemistry and reservoir exploration.
A compilation of the most important modern average values of different geochemical reservoirs can be found in the reservoir database of the so-called Geochemical Earth Reference Model - GERM project.
