Now, two musicians are challenging the assumption using 3D-printed dinosaur skulls. Dubbed Dinosaur Choir, the craniums in question use fossil evidence to recreate the vocalizations of species ...
Using 3D models of ancient skulls, Dinosaur Choir gets us closer than ever to understanding the noises that dinosaurs made.
Rotate, zoom in and explore the features of this popular dinosaur. Dippy skull by NHM_Imaging on Sketchfab This 3D model of the skull of the Museum's iconic Diplodocus carnegii cast was produced by ...
D modeling reveals that as bird brains grew larger, it led to changes in jaw muscles and joint mechanics—enabling the ...
A cascade of changes from dinosaurs to birds When the team analyzed data from the 3D models, they saw that as brain and skull sizes increased in non-avian theropod dinosaurs, muscles shifted into ...
Modern birds, along with certain snakes and fishes, have skulls whose jaws and palates are not firmly fixed in place.
to create 3D models. These scans allowed them to calculate the mechanics of the skulls and jaws in action. "We see this cascade of changes that happened along the dinosaur to bird transition ...
A significant portion of my PhD work involved using a portable surface scanner to create 3D models of carnivorous dinosaur skulls, including the famous tyrannosaurs, and studying their feeding ...
