I attached in the https://github.com/apache/parquet-testing/issues/75. Please rename them back to *.parquet so you can use parquet tools to view them.
I captured them when working on the Iceberg tests in https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/main/parquet/src/test/java/org/apache/iceberg/parquet/TestVariantWriters.java#L172 . You can change to OutputFile outputFile = Files.localOutput("primitive.parquet"); to capture them, but you probably can follow what David mentioned.
