Fossil material Initial efforts to re-blockemble and mechanically prepare SSN8DOR11 were made at the time of its discovery in 2009. However, an investigative computed tomography (CT) scan in 2021 revealed the presence of additional bones that remained hidden within the matrix, and these were uncovered using a combination of chisels, dental picks and a microscribe. An approximately 5-mm-thick section of a distal phalanx, an incipient ossification and three partial chondroderms were immersed in polyester resin (Araldite DBF, ABIC Kemi) to prevent shattering during slide preparation. Once embedded, approximately 1-mm-thick sections were cut from the blocks using a slow-speed diamond saw.
