Geological Data for Carbonate Fault Analysis: Drone, EPMA, FESEM, and XRD

Supporting information and raw data for a study on weakening processes in carbonate-hosted faults. The 3.5 GB collection includes Drone, EPMA, FESEM, and XRD data from the Mattinata fault in Southern Italy, authored by Rachele Calvanelli and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze fault zone microstructure based on FESEM and EPMA data mentioned in the description
• Characterize mineral composition based on XRD data mentioned in the description
• Map fault surface geometry based on Drone data mentioned in the description
• Study phyllosilicate distribution and its role in fault weakening based on the described data types

Strengths

• Data volume is 3.5 GB, indicating substantial raw data files.
• Includes multimodal data from four distinct analytical methods (Drone, EPMA, FESEM, XRD).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
