Dear GCG'ers,
The JISC funded GB/3D fossil types online project is being launched to the public on Thursday next week (22nd August), and as part of the build up, we are making available a selected collection of 125 virtual 3D fossils for anyone to download. The models are subject to a Creative Commons Attribution - Non Commercial - ShareAlike licence. The virtual fossils look particularly impressive when viewed in MeshLab on an iPad or iPhone, and usually work on Android devices as well. They can of course also be downloaded and viewed on a PC.
The models are available for download from the BGS ftp server at: ftp://ftp.bgs.ac.uk/pubload/mhowe/GB3D_Selected%20Fossils/ or you can go to the project blog for step-by-step instructions: http://gb3dtypefossils.blogspot.co.uk/
Feedback is very welcome. Please enjoy....
Regards,
Mike
