Dinosaur cranial CT scans and reconstructions (NERC Grant NE/R000077/1)
Raw CT scan data for the following taxa (Euparkeria, Scelidosaurus, Lesothosaurus, Hypsilophodon, Herrerasaurus, Adeopapposaurus, Leyesaurus, Pantydraco, Heterodontosaurus, Coelphysis, Columba, Uromastyx), deposited as either .tif stacks or .dicom stacks, together with .vol files. CT reconstructions for each of these provided as .stls and in other file formats and also all files associated with the generation of Finite Element Models for each of these taxa. Reference photographs of specimens also provided where relevant. Scans and models are arranged in folders by taxon on a hard drive, accompanied by a Read Me file giving full details.

- Statement
- CT-scanning for each of the specimens, carried out mainly at the Natural History Museum, but also using some open-source scans donated from elsewhere. CT scans were segmented in Avizo to create the 3D virtual skull models. FE analyses and meshing were completed in Strand7. Digital photography for specimen images.
