Migrated MorphoSource 1 Media File Title: microCT dataset (TIFF Stack) Migrated MorphoSource 1 Media Group Title: microCT dataset (TIFF Stack) and surface mesh Migrated MorphoSource 1 Media Group Description: Researchers who make use of this surface and tomographic archive are asked to cite this publication as the source of the digital data: Odes, E.J, Randolph-Quinney, P.S., Steyn, M., Throckmorton, Z., Smilg, J.S., Zipfel, B., Augustine, T., de Beer, F., Hoffman, J.W., Franklin, R, and Berger, L.R. (2016). Earliest hominin cancer: 1.7 million year old osteosarcoma from Swartkrans Cave, South Africa. South African Journal of Science 112 (7/8) http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2016/20150471 This serves to both acknowledge the personal and institutional resources underlying the project and allows the Plio-Pleistocene Palaeontology Section to monitor the use and publication of their collections. Researchers are also asked to acknowledge the Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa (NECSA) who performed volume acquisition. Please acknowledge as follows: ‘MicroCT data from the Necsa MIXRAD facility was generated using a Nikon XTH 225 ST micro-focus X-ray tomography system funded by the Department of Science and Technology and National Research Foundation.’
