Downloadable Data:
There are 2 scanned T. quinqueloba shells. Specimens are from sediments of the central Pacific Ocean.

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.
