Electron backscatter diffraction data for mylonites from the Kuckaus Mylonite Zone, Namibia

Electron backscatter diffraction was used on thin sections of three mylonites (protomylonite, mylonite, ultramylonite) from the Kuckaus Mylonite Zone, Namibia, cut parallel to lineation and perpendicular to foliation. The dataset includes four Channel 5 sample sets (.cpr and .crc), one for each mylonite and one for a porphyroclast pressure shadow from the protomylonite. The raw data were used in the analysis for the publication mentioned below in order to obtain crystallographic preferred orientations, internal misorientations of grains, and grain size data. Minerals analysed include quartz, K-feldspar, and plagioclase. The data were collected using a Zeiss Sigma HD Field Emission Gun Analytical Scanning Electron Microscope at the Electron Microbeam facility in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at Cardiff University.
