X-ray computed tomography data for an igneous rock core sample designated NL 1B. The dataset was contributed by author Scott Eckley and hosted by the Texas Data Repository. It was last updated on March 18, 2024.
Use Cases
- Analyze rock porosity and fracture networks based on 3D X-ray CT imagery.
- Train machine learning models for mineral segmentation based on density contrasts in the scan data.
- Validate computational fluid dynamics simulations of flow through porous rock based on the internal structure.
- Perform digital rock physics analysis to estimate petrophysical properties like permeability.
Strengths
- Data is specifically from a core sample, suggesting a controlled and standardized collection context.
- The dataset is hosted on a recognized institutional repository (Texas Data Repository).
- Last update timestamp (2024-03 18) is provided, indicating recent metadata 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.
- The scale of the dataset (file size, row count) is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
