3D Dataset of Pisinnocaris subconigera

Pisinnocaris subconigera was first described as a rare, small euarthropod from the early Cambrian Chengjiang biota, southwestern China. The taxonomic validity of this species was later challenged due to the lack of essential morphological details. Here, we examined the holotype and additional specimens of P. subconigera with advanced techniques such as micro-CT scanning and computer-based 3D rendering, and revealed the previously unknown ventral organization of the animal. This dataset contains 3D scans of three specimens of P. subconigera, whiche are the holotype specimen of the species, a specimen preserving the of the soft body details and a specimen of the largest body size to date, respectively. Our morphological data suggests that P. subconigera represents a unique member of the early Cambrian fuxianhuiids.
This dataset contains three files: 3D scans and Figure of CJHMD00066a, NIGPAS 115417a and YKLP17301, respectively. Each file includes Tiff Stack file and 3D screenshot figure of 3D model.
