Thse are micro-CT scans from my MSc project titled 'Taxonomic and palaeobiological description of South African mosasaurids', which I completed in 2020 and can be found through OpenUCT: Woolley, M. R. (2021). Taxonomic and palaeobiological assessment of the South African mosasaurids.


The scan is of a fossilised Prognathodon tooth (CGP/1/2265) from Pondoland, Eastern Cape. More information about the tooth and specimen in published article: Woolley, M. R., Chinsamy, A., & Caldwell, M. W. (2022). Unraveling the taxonomy of the South African mosasaurids. Frontiers in Earth Science, 10, 971968.

The scan was done in 2019 at X-Sight in Somerset West. The data were analysed by Megan Rose Woolley.
