DK 220B: X-Ray CT Data of an Igneous Rock Core Sample

X-ray computed tomography data of igneous rock core sample DK 220B, authored by Scott Eckley and hosted by the Texas Data Repository. The dataset was last updated on March 18, 2024.

Use Cases

• Analyze rock porosity and internal structure based on X-ray CT scan data.
• Train machine learning models for automated mineral segmentation in igneous rocks.
• Create 3D visualizations and models of rock core samples for geological education.
• Conduct comparative petrological studies using high-resolution internal imagery.

Strengths

• Data is specifically from an igneous rock core sample, providing a focused geological context.
• Last update timestamp of 2024-03-18 10:10:06 indicates recent platform activity.
• Author and repository (Texas Data Repository) are explicitly named, providing basic provenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count, file formats, and data size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and resolution require manual inspection.
