Electron Backscatter Diffraction Data for "New perspectives on the formation of the Boulder Bed of the western Bushveld Complex, South Africa"
Data include:
1. Input .ctf files for all grains, host anorthosite grains, and marginal zone grains
2. Exported orientation (IPF), physical parameters (shape factor SF, aspect ratio AR) and phase maps for each grain type for each zone (including all grains)
3. GROD, GOS, and KAM misorientation maps for each grain type for each zone (including all grains)
4. Pole figures for each grain, including both 1 point per grain (1PPG) and all data (Orientation distribution function; ODF) for all points of anorthite)
5. Statistical outputs of fabric data, including pfJ, J, and M index.
6. AVA maps and key for all anorthite grains. The red lines represent plagioclase {010} twin planes. One map displays schematic illustrations of grain orientations while the other does not.
7. Pole figure and statistical output from PFctf_PC2 of Mainprice (https://sites.google.com/site/davidmainprice/home/software). pfJ values and eigenvectors are included.
Research results based upon these data are published at https://doi.org/10.1007/s00126-022-01150-y
