X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed on five samples to determine the minerals present. Triaxial shearing experiments were conducted at the USGS Rock Physics Laboratory in Menlo Park, California (now Moffett Field, California) to determine the coefficient of friction and the friction rate parameter (a-b) under the following conditions: room temperature (21C) and 10 MPa effective normal stress; 100C and 36 MPa effective normal stress; 200C and 71 MPa effective normal stress. The rate parameter (a-b) was determined using RSFit3000 (Skarbek and Savage, 2019).  Deformation microstructures of the experimental samples were examined using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy at the USGS Moffett Field Ebeams Facility, California.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P13PIFJR", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.6972c61cd4be024aa5bde17f.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_6972c61cd4be024aa5bde17f", "keyword": ["East Anatolian Fault", "Puturge", "Turkey", "USGS:6972c61cd4be024aa5bde17f", "biota", "creep", "earthquake", "earthquakes", "fault", "rate state friction"], "modified": "2026-02-13T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "38.5071, 38.0351, 39.3228, 38.4837", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Laboratory data for natural and experimental gouge samples from the P\u00fct\u00fcrge segment of the East Anatolian Fault Zone, Turkey (T\u00fcrkiye): X-ray diffraction, triaxial shearing experiments, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy"}
