Downloadable Data:
The 1 scanned specimen is obtained from a shallow sediment core of the Ontong Java Plateau in the western equatorial Pacific.
Note: Data 'stacks' contain the minimally processed 3D data (TIF files) that can be imported into your favorite 3D data processing software program (we use imageJ). The STL file is processed and ready for 3D printing.
