Methodology
  • Specimen SGS-UM 2009-002 was scanned on the OMNI-X HD600 High Resolution Computed Tomography scanner in the Center for Quantitative Imaging at Pennsylvania State University. Scans were collected with the X-TEK X-ray tube with the following settings: energy settings 180 kV, 0.2 mA; source to object distance 215.03 mm; scanned with 1,440 views and five samples averaged per view; field of view 65.9 mm; x = y = 0.0644 mm (pixel size); z = 0.069 mm (slice thickness and spacing); matrix size 1,024 × 1,024 16-bit TIFF images. There were 1,864 slices taken; the specimen was scanned in volume mode with a Feldkamp reconstruction algorithm. The data have been re-exported in DICOM format.

Methods:
Specimen SGS-UM 2009-002 was scanned on the OMNI-X HD600 High Resolution Computed Tomography scanner in the Center for Quantitative Imaging at Pennsylvania State University. Scans were collected with the X-TEK X-ray tube with the following settings: energy settings 180 kV, 0.2 mA; source to object distance 215.03 mm; scanned with 1,440 views and five samples averaged per view; field of view 65.9 mm; x = y = 0.0644 mm (pixel size); z = 0.069 mm (slice thickness and spacing); matrix size 1,024 × 1,024 16-bit TIFF images. There were 1,864 slices taken; the specimen was scanned in volume mode with a Feldkamp reconstruction algorithm. The data have been re-exported in DICOM format.

Format:
The reconstructed slice data from the scan are offered here in DICOM format. At the time of posting, this format can be loaded in a variety of viewers, such as 3D Slicer, Amira, Avizo, Dragonfly, ImageJ, and VG Studio. Projections are not included in this dataset.

Casts:
A cast of the specimen is held by the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology (UMMP) under catalog number 14200.
