X-ray µ-CT data reconstruction, image stack of sample NRM M8681

This contribution comprises a true-3D volume dataset (Digital rock sample) of a fossilized whale ear bone material from Oligocene strata in Washington State, USA, acquired by a X-ray Computed Microtomography (µ-CT) survey (Kiel et al., submitted). The specimen is curated in the paleontological collection of the Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, Sweden. The X-ray μ-CT scan was performed using the CT-ALPHA system of the MAPEX Center for Materials and Processes at the University of Bremen, Germany. The reconstructed image material has a resolution of 46.8 µm/voxel.
