DK 307B: X-Ray CT Data for an Igneous Rock Core Sample

X-ray computed tomography data captures the internal structure of a specific igneous rock core sample designated DK 307B. The dataset was authored by Scott Eckley and harvested from the Texas Data Repository into the Dataverse platform. It was last updated on March 18, 2024.

Use Cases

• Train segmentation models to identify mineral phases and pores based on X-ray CT density variations.
• Analyze rock fabric and texture for petrological studies based on 3D volumetric data.
• Validate computational rock physics models against real-world internal structure data.
• Perform non-destructive analysis of core sample features like fractures or vesicles.

Strengths

• Data is specifically for a defined geological sample (igneous rock core DK 307B).
• Last update timestamp (2024-03 18 07:45:27) is provided, indicating recent platform activity.
• Author and institutional source (Texas Data Repository) are explicitly stated.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• 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.
