  • More about Virtual Paleontology: Tomographic Techniques For Studying Fossil Echinoderms

Imaging and visualizing fossils in three dimensions with tomography is a powerful approach in paleontology, improving our understanding of anatomy, function, taphonomy, and phylogeny. New imaging and computational methods have the potential to answer long-standing paleobiological questions, but further efforts are needed to make the data accessible.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 75 pages

Publisher: Cambridge University Press


Imaging and visualizing fossils in three dimensions with tomography is a powerful approach in paleontology. Here, the authors introduce select destructive and non-destructive tomographic techniques that are routinely applied to fossils and review how this work has improved our understanding of the anatomy, function, taphonomy, and phylogeny of fossil echinoderms. Building on this, this Element discusses how new imaging and computational methods have great promise for addressing long-standing paleobiological questions. Future efforts to improve the accessibility of the data underlying this work will be key for realizing the potential of this virtual world of paleontology.
