Data from: Global database of paleocurrent trends through the Phanerozoic and Precambrian

Paleocurrents are sedimentological features contained in all sedimentary
deposits, enabling the direction of movement of the sediment and the
containing fluid at the time of deposition to be determined. This database
contains paleocurrent directions and other relevant associated data from
published sources and theses and dissertations for the entire Phanerozoic
and Precambrian for all continents. Such information may be of general
interest to sedimentologists and will be of specific interest in
sedimentary basin analysis, and to petroleum geologists and mineralogists
seeking source areas. Paleocurrents may also be useful in plate
reconstructions and in testing the timing of global tectonic events.
