| World Museum, Liverpool |
A little while ago the JISC GB3D fossils team were at the World Museum, Liverpool. As well as the more "normal" sized fossils, a couple of fossils presented a little problem.....
 |
| Chirotherium storetonense |
This is a specimen of Chirotherium storetonense (the
"hand-beast" of Storeton) - it is currently on display in the geology
gallery in the museum. The slab weighs over a tonne, so moving it for
photography in the available time was out of the question. Additionally, the
gallery is open to the public every day, so we would not be able to set up
lights and tripods without disturbing access.
We hope to be able to solve this problem through the use of photogrammetry software, where we will use several photographs taken from different angles to create a model of the specimen - we will update this post when we have some results.
