Williams, Henrik Birkedal. 2. Dataset description This dataset contains processed data from Heloderma horridum, Pseudopus apodus, Broadleysaurus major, Corucia zebrata, Tiliqua scincoides, and Tiliqua rugosa. Files in this dataset: X-ray microscopy.zip: X-ray computed tomography reconstructuion of the osteoderms in TIFF files. scanning_XRD-XRF.zip: Processed data from synchrotron scanning X-ray diffraction and fluorescence data on thin osteoderm slices. Diffraction data was Rietveld refined to a hydroxyapatite model and fluorescence data was fitted to obtain the Ca, Sr and Zn signals. nanoindentation.zip: Nanoindentation measurements on osteoderm cross-sections. 3. Experimental methods Experimental details and full methods descriptions can be found in the associated publication: A. Rodriguez-Palomo, M. Didziokas, M. S. B. Jacobsen, T. E. K. Christensen, I.
