Supplemental 3D Model Data - New insights into the evolutionary history of Fungi from a 407 million year old blastocladiomycota-like fossil showing multiple sporangia and an extensive hyphal network (SPIERSView and VAXML format)

Three-dimensional reconstruction models of Fungi from a 407 million year old blastocladiomycota-like fossil showing multiple sporangia and an extensive hyphal network in SPIERSView and VAXML format. 2D and 3D (Red/Cyan) images also provided as a PDF.

Notes:

SPIERSView file (.SPV) models can conveniently be viewed using the SPIERSView software, freely available in both Windows and Mac versions from http://www.spiers‐software.org. However, note that low-performance computers may not possess a sufficiently powerful graphics card to render and rotate the model.

VAXML file format models are saved as a ZIP-compressed VAXML datasets. VAXML uses one or more .STL files to define the geometry of objects that comprise the dataset, together with one .VAXML file that provides metadata on the dataset as a whole, and specifies how the .STL files should be put together. We recommend using the free SPIERS software to view this model format (http://spiers-software.org/). However, .STL files can be opened independently in several freely available software programs (e.g. MeshLab, Blender). Additional information on the VAXML format can be found here: http://spiers-software.org/VAXML.htm.
