Full description
University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray CT Facility Archive 0860 Van Valkenburgh: Smilodon: Scans of the fossil skull of Smilodon fatalis (LACMRLP R37376; Los Angeles Co., Late Pleistocene, RLP 1163A/1-11, Pit 91) for Dr. Blaire Van Valkenburgh of the Department of Organismic Biology, Ecology, and Evolution, at The University of California at Los Angeles. Scanned by Richard Ketcham 12 May 2003. 16bitrf: 1024x1024 16-bit TIFF images. P250D, 420 kV, 1.8 mA, one brass filter, air wedge, 190% offset, integration time 20 ms, slice thickness 0.5 mm, S.O.D. 580, 1440 views, one ray averaged per view, one sample per view, interslice spacing 0.5 mm, field of reconstruction 219.5 (maximum field of view 235 mm), reconstruction offset 4000, reconstruction scale 2500. Ring-removal processing done by Rachel Racicot based on correction of raw sonogram data using IDL routine “RK_SinoRingProcSimul”, with default parameters. Total slices = 629.
