MP 236B: X-Ray CT Data for an Igneous Rock Core Sample

X-ray computed tomography data provides a non-destructive 3D view of the internal structure of igneous rock core sample MP 236B. The dataset was contributed by author Scott Eckley and last updated on March 18, 2024. It is hosted by the Texas Data Repository via the Dataverse platform.

Use Cases

• Segmenting mineral phases and pore spaces based on X-ray CT density contrasts.
• Analyzing rock fabric and internal structure for geological research.
• Training 3D image segmentation models for petrophysical property estimation.
• Validating computational simulations of fluid flow through porous rock media.

Strengths

• Data is from X-ray computed tomography, a non-destructive 3D imaging technique.
• Specifically focuses on an igneous rock core sample, providing material specificity.
• Last update was recorded on 2024-03-18, indicating recent platform activity.

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 and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
