Text-fig. 3. CT slices on Block 3. Invertebrate moulds (a, c) and remains of their hard skeletons (a, b). Large areas of limestone matrix hold either only a few scattered invertebrates or no fossil at all (b, c). Ring artefacts seen close to the isocentre of the scan (b, c) are a well-known phenomenon caused by the X-ray beams traversing the block at an insufficient radiation dose (as expected in such a large block of dense material), and are not part of any physical structure present therein (Triche et al. 2019). in Hidden Treasures Uncovered: Successful Detection Of Fossils Below The Surface In Large Limestone Blocks Using A Standard Medical X-Ray Ct Scanner

Blue colouration represents newly added measurements; orange highlights either newly coded characters or characters where states could be reduced after the CT scan. B Placement before CT scanning. C Placement after CT scanning

FIGURE A5 in Testing the impact of two key scan parameters on the quality and repeatability of measurements from CT scan data

FIGURE A5. Scatter plot displaying how beam shift, measured by the apparent growth (scale) of the shell in the final x-ray radiograph relative to the first x-ray radiograph, varies with (1) time of day the scan was performed, and (2) the overall scan time. We found that beam shift decreased throughout the day, likely due to the tube warming up as more scans are run. There was no correlation between overall scan time and the amount of beam shift.
