VEN 18A: X-Ray CT Data for an Igneous Rock Core Sample

X-ray computed tomography data captures the internal structure of igneous rock core sample VEN 18A. 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

• Segment and quantify mineral phases and pore spaces based on the 3D X-ray CT imagery.
• Train machine learning models for rock type classification based on internal texture features.
• Perform digital rock physics simulations to estimate permeability or elastic properties.
• Create 3D visualizations and models of the rock core's internal architecture.

Strengths

• Data is specifically from an igneous rock core sample, providing a clear geological context.
• Last update timestamp of 2024 03 18 04:55:37 indicates 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.
