Description

Microstructure and crystallographic orientation data for the shells of the giant clams Tridacna squamosa and Hippopus hippopus. A tabulated version of post-acquisition reanalysis using EBSD data is presented in Table 1 as a .XLSX file. This repository also contains raw SEM EBSD files (.CRC, .CPR, .txt format) for T. squamosa and H. hippopus, along with a script (.M, .txt) with simple example code for EBSD data analysis and plotting carried out in MTex toolbox 5.7.0 for MATLAB R2022b. The files stored within the data repository are: • SS02BCT.CRC: Raw EBSD dataset file for Tridacna squamosa (SS02BCT) • SS01BSN.CRC: Raw EBSD dataset file for Hippopus hippopus (SS01BSN) • SS02BCT.CPR: Raw EBSD dataset file for Tridacna squamosa (SS02BCT) • SS01BSN.CPR: Raw EBSD dataset file for Hippopus hippopus (SS01BSN) • SS02BCT.txt: Raw EBSD dataset file for Tridacna squamosa (SS02BCT) • SS01BSN.txt: Raw EBSD dataset file for Hippopus hippopus (SS01BSN) • EBSD_Tridacnidae.M: Code for EBSD data analysis and plotting. • EBSD_Tridacnidae.txt: Code for EBSD data analysis and plotting. • Reflectors.XLSX: Table of post-acquisition reanalysis of EBSD patterns stored at indexing using manual selection of reflectors.
