Plotting structural geology data in ArcGIS
Update: I suggest using ArcGIS Pro instead of ArcMap – if you need help with this let me know.

This tutorial covers plotting structural geology data in ArcGIS. In this tutorial I am going to use the example of plotting foliation data, but this is applicable to any data where a rotated symbol is required.
Adding XY data to ArcGIS
This tutorial covers adding XY data to ArcGIS, so that you can view and work with the data in ArcGIS. By XY data I mean point data such as foliation that has a spatial (XY) component associated with it.

The Department of Geology (University of Otago) koordinates site is set up to allow users to download/view data with a spatial component.

The main dataset of interest is the “theses metadata polygons” which shows the mapped areas for theses (PhD, MSc) and dissertations and metadata such as: author, project, title, advisers, keywords.
Other data includes research output such as: Alpine Fault traces, cataclasite zones, a 3D model of the Waitangi-taona and Whataroa rivers.
How to use https://koordinates.com/ to download/view spatial data

https://koordinates.com/ is a website that allows users and data suppliers to upload/download data with a spatial component. The advantage this site has over other data repositories is that the user can choose which data they like, which format, and over which area in a granular way. It also has a very good interface for viewing data/metadata.
These sites are powered by koordinates.
