The sediment was chemically and mechanically compacted, folded, and faulted during the Hercynian orogeny. The studied microstructure of the Ruhr sandstone indicates depths of up to 6000 m and reconstructed, possible temperatures of over 120 ºC. This results in a complex mineralogical structure compared to other sandstones such as the Berea sandstone or the Fontainbleau sandstone. As part of the Balcewicz et al. (2021) publication, we made a first attempt to study the Ruhr Sandstone using Digital Rock Physics (DRP).<br> <br> This dataset contains the underlying micro X-ray Computed Tomography (micro-XRCT) data set (projection and reconstructed images) used in Balcewicz et al. (2021). The scan was performed on a cylindrical Ruhr sandstone core sample with a diameter of 5 mm.University of Stuttgart, Institute of Applied Mechanics (CE)Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation)STE 969/13-1Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation)SFB 1313 ‐ 327154368
