# Example specimens

One folder per specimen. Each folder is 1–4 photographs of **the same fossil from
different angles** — that is the pipeline's unit of work, and Meshy's hard limit.

`examples.csv` columns:

| column | |
|---|---|
| `id` | folder-safe identifier |
| `title` | shown on the gallery card |
| `folder` | path to the view folder, relative to the Space root |
| `prompt` | prefilled into the composer when the card is clicked (editable) |
| `source` | attribution |

## Honest note on the bundled example

`IU-3105/` is **four rotations of one photograph**, not four real angles. It
exercises the plumbing — the gallery, the multi-view folder path, the per-view
segmentation loop — and it will produce a mesh. That mesh will not be a good
reconstruction, because rotating one image adds no new information about the
specimen: Meshy still cannot see the back.

Replace it with genuine angles before drawing any conclusion about output quality.
Write the prompt to say something specific about *that* specimen — the shadow, the
broken face, the matrix still attached — because the prompt is what steers the
analyst's keypoints, and a generic one wastes the best lever you have.
