Field work and targeted sampling took place, in May 2023, around the exceptional field exposure of an interpreted Slow Earthquake zone in Col d’Amoss, New Caledonia. This data has come into existence through research funded by the NERC Grant NE/X012778/1 Exploring the geological signature of Slow Earthquakes through legacy experiments and field analysis.

Simultaneous crystallographic orientation (EBSD) and qualitative mineral chemistry (EDX) data was collected using a FEI Quanta 650 SEM at the Leeds Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy Centre (LEMAS) at the University of Leeds. The FEI Quanta 650 SEM is equipped with the CMOS Symmetry EBSD detector, and X-Max 80 mm2 EDX detector using AZtec software, all from Oxford Instruments. Analyses were performed at high-vacuum conditions with an accelerating voltage of 30 kV, a working distance of around 25 mm on a specimen tilted by 70°. Data was acquired on a regular grid. The orientation and chemical data were then processed using AZtecCrystal software (Oxford Instruments).
