Each PNG file contains two panels: a greyscale photosimulation of the analysed occlusal enamel surface and a colour-rendered three-dimensional (3D) surface reconstruction of the same scanned area. The images document the occlusal wear facets from which dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) data were collected and are identified by museum specimen catalogue number. These files provide a permanent visual record of the analysed surfaces and complement the archived quantitative DMTA dataset deposited separately.

Epoxy casts were scanned using a Sensofar S neox confocal optical profiler to produce three-dimensional surface models of the occlusal wear facets. Surface models were processed in MountainsMap Imaging Topography (Version 10, Digital Surf) to generate the greyscale photosimulations and colour-rendered 3D surface reconstructions contained in this dataset.
