Short summary
In this study, we constructed an open dataset, which contains computed tomography (CT) data on nearly 500 vertebrate microfossils. We propose a semantic segmentation method for CT fish microfossil data based on deep learning (DL). We expect that our proposed method could be applied to CT data on other fossils with good performance. We also believe the fast-accumulating CT data on vertebrate microfossils might become a source of information-rich datasets for deep learning.
