Work Description

Title: Segmentation masks and surface meshes for NMMNH P-77557 Daemodontiscus harrisae, cranium (holotype) Open Access Deposited

Attribute Value
Methodology
  • The micro-computed tomography dataset for specimen New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science NMMNH P-77557 was acquired at the CTEES facility, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Michigan. The tomograms were loaded into Materialise Mimics v. 25, and skeletal components segmented. The resulting segmentation masks were used to generate volumes, from which surface meshes (in .ply format) were exported.
Description
  • These files contain tomographic data, segmentation masks (both contained in .mcs file), and surface meshes (in .ply format) Carboniferous fish Daemondontiscus harrisae. They were used as part for the formal description of this taxon. The .mcs file can only be opened in the proprietary software Materialise Mimics; meshes can be opened in several programs (e.g., MeshLab;  https://www.meshlab.net/).

Funding:

This work was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation (EAR 2219007). This work utilized data produced in the CTEES facility at the University of Michigan, supported by the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. These data are provided courtesy of the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology.

Research Overview:

These files contain tomographic data, segmentation masks (both contained in .mcs file), and surface meshes (in .ply format) of the Carboniferous fish Daemondontiscus harrisae. They were used as part for the formal description of this taxon. The .mcs file can only be opened in the proprietary software Materialise Mimics; meshes can be opened in several programs (e.g., MeshLab; https://www.meshlab.net/).

Methodology:

The micro-computed tomography dataset for a portion of the specimen New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science NMMNH P-77557 comprising parts of the left jaws was acquired at the CTEES facility, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Michigan. The tomograms were loaded into Materialise Mimics v. 25, and the dentary, maxilla, and associated teeth segmented. The resulting segmentation masks were used to generate volumes, from which surface meshes (in .ply format) were exported.
