Virtual Paleontology : Tomographic Techniques For Studying Fossil Echinoderms Paperback / softback
by Jennifer E. Bauer, Imran A. Rahman
Part of the Elements of Paleontology series
Paperback / softback
Description
Imaging and visualizing fossils in three dimensions with tomography is a powerful approach in paleontology.
Here, the authors introduce select destructive and non-destructive tomographic techniques that are routinely applied to fossils and review how this work has improved our understanding of the anatomy, function, taphonomy, and phylogeny of fossil echinoderms.
Building on this, this Element discusses how new imaging and computational methods have great promise for addressing long-standing paleobiological questions.
Future efforts to improve the accessibility of the data underlying this work will be key for realizing the potential of this virtual world of paleontology.
