You might ne interested to see the fabulous 3-D model of the Blue Anchor Ichthyotitan severnensis jaw bone produced by @ThinkSee3D

Something a bit different this #FossilFriday if you've ever wanted an look close up at an ichthyosaur skull! You might remember one of the skulls on display was scanned recently by @ThinkSee3D, and now the 3D model is live for you to see from every angle!
OUMNH is undertaking an exciting plesiosaur project this Jan!
And we have the great pleasure of collaborating with specialist palaeontological conservator @MrIchthyosaurus and 3D specialists @ThinkSee3D 🙌
It’s so exciting to see the specimen up close thanks to scaffolding! 😍
Next year marks the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth. In June, we were asked by @JaneAustenHouse museum to 3D scan objects associated with the great author, including the table where she was purported to have written her works & a first edition of Pride and Prejudice. #JaneAusten250
I called families to tell them their beloved was dying. I read out messages from absent family members. I saw the British public behave with such *staggering* decency as they obeyed the rules to protect the vulnerable.
Is my anger 'overblown'?
She has absolutely no idea.
Just back from a 3D scanning trip to Lagos, Nigeria, where it was wonderful to see more of the remarkable 8th century Igbo Ukwu bronzes at the National Museum. We've worked on these in the past with the BM. Also ran a workshop on 3D digital heritage and photogrammetry to some of Lagos' creative community at a beautifully conserved 1960's architects house and creative space called Padá.
Last week I worked for the #FalklandIslands#museum, assessing their large double #whalebone#arch & other specimens, accompanied by @ThinkSee3D who 3Dscanned the arch, #lighthouse, flint tools etc. But you'd rather see photos of #penguins & other wildlife. So here they are.

On Prof. Smith’s 95th birthday in 2023, Petrie Museum Head of Collection Catriona Wilson had the pleasure of presenting him with one of the 3D prints of the Meroe Frog made by our colleague Steve Dey at @ThinkSee3D, which was very well received.
Love this display about replicas of dino bone #1 (#Megalosaurus dentary) by @Dr_EmmaNicholls@morethanadodo, Oxford University Museum of Natural History, featuring in the centre a TS3D replica (from a scan earlier this year) & a copy of William Buckland's own copy (in plaster).
TS3D's @stevendey has been testing 3D scanning at an active paleo excavation in Gloucestershire, UK. Scanning finds in-situ (for context) & ex-situ (in a nearby tent). Below a neanderthal hand axe & a possible scapula from a rhino. Thanks to #tuskforce@HillsQuarry & Sally & Nev
TS3D's @StevenDey was at the Etches Collection @TEC_Kimmeridge in June to produce a new high-res digital 3D model of their famous #pliosaur skull. This remarkable find is one of the best preserved pliosaur skulls ever extracted from the #Kimmeridge clay. #FossilFriday
It featured on the BBC documentary 'Attenborough and the Giant Sea Monster' earlier in the year. The new high resolution photogrammetry scan incorporated over 1200 photos including photos taken inside the cavities.
Made and rendered by @stevendey from 16 photogrammetry scans. Large 3D model (5m polys, multiple 8K and 4K texture files) can be viewed here on @Sketchfab... https://t.co/t6v4oOebvT
This was a challenge! A #3D scan model & render of the famous 18th century race horse skeleton from the @RoyalVetCollege, 'Eclipse'. One of the most famous racehorses of all time & progenitor of nearly all modern racehorses (est 95%). #HorseRacing
Eclipse (1764-1789) was an undefeated 18th-century British thoroughbred who won 18 races, considered the greatest racehorse of his time & the expression, “Eclipse first, the rest nowhere” entered the English vernacular as an expression of dominance.
