Work Description

Title: CT scan data of sauropod tail clubs from the Kota Formation (Early to Middle Jurassic) of India Open Access Deposited

O
Attribute Value
Methodology
  • Computed Tomography scans were made using a GE Lightspeed VCT scanner at Lucid Diagnostics (Hyderabad, India). Between 260 to 480 slices were obtained, depending on the specimen. More detailed scanning parameters are included in the metadata embedded for each set (specimen) of scans.
Description
  • The four specimens (GSI SR/YS/1, GSI SR/YS/2, GSI SR/YS/3, and GSI SR/YS/4) are identified as tail clubs that are attributed to the basal sauropod Kotasaurus yamanpalliensis. The specimens were collected by the Geological Survey of India Southern Region (GSI SR) and, in 2018, the specimens were studied as a collaboration between GSI SR and the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology. The specimens are housed in the collections of the GSI SR (Hyderabad, India).

Computed Tomography scans were made using a GE Lightspeed VCT scanner at Lucid Diagnostics (Hyderabad, India). Between 260 to 480 slices were obtained, depending on the specimen. Scanning parameters are included in the metadata embedded for each set (specimen) of scans.

FILE LIST
The data set includes a stack of 1348 CT slices (DICOM),representing the four spceimens.
