I am looking for the list of REE-normalized values for the PAAS and NASC. I believe Taylor and McKlennan (1985) has a list for PAAS but not for NASC, can someone provide the list in the answers?
I've had the same problem some time ago. To my knowledge, the most extensive, yet still incomplete high quality data set is that of Gromet et al. (984), DOI: 10.1016/0016-7037(84)90298-9
However, since there seems to be no complete set for NASC and the published values are quite close to PAAS (Taylor and McLennan, 1985), there is little point in using NASC at all. One of the points of normalization is making your data easily comparable to other peoples data, so it is useful to take the most popular data set, i.e. PAAS for upper crustal rocks, waters etc. (does not matter where the samples are from geographically, PAAS is a "model composition" of global upper crust) and CI for anything mantle related.

Taylor, S.R.; McClennan, S.M., 1985. The Continental Crust: Its Composition and Evolution. Blackwell Sci. Malden Mass. 312. This has NASC avlues.
Gopal Bera Sir please can you send the link of this book?
Taylor, S.R.; McClennan, S.M., 1985. The Continental Crust: Its Composition and Evolution. Blackwell Sci. Malden Mass. 312.
This is even available to purchase at Amazon but expensive. Alternatively, you can access this paper (Anselm mentioned above) which has NASC compositions which are within 5% of the Taylor and McClennan.
