Orogen-Transverse Folding Data from North Singhbhum Mobile Belt, India

Field and laboratory data from a study of orogen-transverse folds in the North Singhbhum Mobile Belt, India. The dataset includes structural mapping data and results from scaled analog experiments replicating Proterozoic convergence, published by Ayan Patsa in April 2026. It is stored in XLSX and MP4 formats and totals 24.5 MB.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the formation mechanisms of orogen-transverse folds based on structural mapping data.
• Comparing field-observed fold geometries with experimental results from analog modelling.
• Studying the relationship between fabric (St) trends and regional convergence based on NE-SW trending data.

Strengths

• Includes a 24.5 MB video file of a reference experiment, providing visual context.
• Data is derived from both field mapping and controlled laboratory experiments, offering complementary perspectives.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure require manual inspection after download.
