DESCRIPTION
Specimen GSI/GC/2903 is the 'cranial block' of the holotype of Sanajeh indicus. This scan contains part of GSI/GC/2903, the mandible, which includes a well-preserved dentary. The specimen was collected from Late Cretaceous-aged sediments near the village of Dholi Dungri, Gujarat, India.
The specimen is housed in Geological Survey of India Palaeontology Division, Central Region, Nagpur, India. For assistance with access, please contact Dhananjay Mohabey (dinomohabey@yahoo.com) or Bandana Samant (bandanabhu@gmail.com). Casts of this and other elements of Sanajeh are available at the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology.
Computed tomographic (CT) scans were performed at the University of Michigan Dental School in Ann Arbor, MI, USA, using a Scanco Medical μCT100 with a 0.5-mm-thick aluminum filter. Scan settings were 90 kVp, 155 μA and exposure time 500 ms. Uniform cubic voxels were 40 μm on a side. Please see metadata embedded within dicoms for complete information.
FILE LIST
The data set includes a compressed stack of 2323 dicom files derived from CT imaging.
