Tangential view onto the cone-shaped crystal units of Pulleniatina obliquiloculata. (a) and (c) EBSD scans with color coding for crystal orientation. Well-visible is the dendritic-fractal morphology of the cone-shaped crystals (a), (b), (c). Note the strong interdigitation of the cone-shaped entities (a), (c). The misorientation versus distance diagram (d) for the profile A to B (c) demonstrates that the cone-shaped units are misoriented relative to each other by random angles and are not related to each other by a twin relationship.
