Downloadable Data:
There is 2 scanned G. hirsuta shells. Specimens are from a shallow core on the Ontong Java Plateau in the western equatorial Pacific.
Note: Data 'stacks' contain the minimally processed 3D data (TIF files) that can be imported into your favorite 3D data processing software program (we use imageJ). The STL file is processed and ready for 3D printing. Each foram also has a 3D model that you can manipulate online.
