I am installing the life size 3D printed dicynodont skeleton on display in the Field Museum Grainger Science Hub. Grey bones represent real fossils from the bonebed, blue bones are resized or reflected bones.
The fossil dicynodont skull in a plaster cradle custom made for the display. In the background are shin bones that I thin sectioned to tell us information on how old these animals were when they died around 240 million years ago
Augmented reality of a dicynodont skeleton in Stanley Field Hall.
A reconstruction of Dolichuranus in the river beds of what is now Tanzania some 240 million years ago. Image credit to Mark Witton who is thanked for this artistic reconstruction.
Happy #FossilFriday
A few weeks ago we opened the first exhibit I helped design based on my work on bone histology and taphonomy of a #dicynodont bonebed from Tanzania!
