A Nikon Metrology XTek XT H 225 at the University of Manchester was used. The scan used a 0.5mm Copper filter, 145 kV, uA 85, capturing 6000 projections on a 3192 x 2296 detector. The projection data was reconstructed using Nikon Metrology NV’s XT 5.1.4.3 software. Dataset is consists of a .vol and .vgi (metadata) file. The .vol contains the raw data for the individual slices. Each image has the following properties: Images format: 32-bit float (raw) Image x/y: 3189 x 3191 px Number of images: 1150 Caculated voxel size: 19.6419 µm Uncompressed total size: 45 GB -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dragonfly_sigaloceras_enodatum.zip -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contains: sigaloceras_enodatum_final.ORSSession | 8.8 GB (uncompressed) The sigaloceras_enodatum_final.ORSSession file is a save DragonFly session. The session conatains the full setup (aligned Nutron and CT datasets, ROIs, segments, and meshes) used to produce and interpret the ammonite.

See: https://www.theobjects.com/dragonfly/get-non-commercial-licensing-program.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- neutron_dataset.zip -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neutron tomography was performed at the IMAT beamline of ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, UK. Imaging was undertaken using an optical camera box with a field-of-view of 120 x 120 mm2. A total of 1801 projections were acquired over 360° rotation, with an exposure time of 30 s per projection, giving a total duration of ~15 hours. Projections were reconstructed as two-dimensional slices using Octopus Imaging Software. These slices have an uncompressed total size of 15.4 GB. Each slice in the stack has the following properties: Images format: 16-bit .tiff Image x/y: 2048 x 2048 px Number of images: 2048 Caculated voxel size: 58 µm Image size (uncompressed): 8192 MB each. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- neutron_dataset_cropped_cleaned.zip -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neutron tomographic slices that have been cropped and cleaned (ie. had background noise removed) based on images in neutron_dataset.zip. Images in .tiff format. 1715 images in stack. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- photogrammetry_block_model.ply -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Model in .ply format (with coloured vertex) showing the limestone block and counter-part of the ammonite. 257136 vertices and 513513 faces. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- photogrammetry_dataset.zip -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photographs, with backgrounds removed, used to generate the 3D block model via photogrammetry. The .zip archive contains 142 photographs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- stl_model_meshes.zip -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .zip archive containing the 49 .stl meshes used in the creation of the 3D reconstructions. These meshes have been smoothed within DragonFly prior to exportation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- video.mkv -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Video showing annimation starting with the limestone block and ammonite in place, ammonite is then shown on its own, before the combinded neutron and x-ray tomography results are presented. Length: 00:43 min Size: 23.9MB Format: .mkv -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- video_blender.zip -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This .zip contains the Blender file used in the creation of the video.

This version has an updated vide.mkv file.
