Downloadable Data
There are 2 scanned G. conglomerata shells. These specimens is from a shallow core from the Ceara Rise in the west equatorial Atlantic.

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.
