Scan of a cast of the Mona Lisa of fossils. It's Archaeopteryx siemensii. A feathered dinosaur.
Surface scan of an Archaeopteryx fossil cast from the D’Arcy Thompson Zoology Museum at the University of Dundee Museum Collections.
DUNUC 2704 - Archaeopteryx siemensii - Fossil cast taken from the Berlin specimen, discovered in 1874-5 and now in the Humboldt Museum. Cast=59x49cm.
I'm mirroring it here for wider viewership and to have it published in case something happens to sketchfab.
In the Source Scan.zip you can find the original files as I received them. The STLs are decimated and made 3d printer friendly. The standing file can be printed standing up - a brim is a wise idea with it.
If somebody wants to paint these for multicolor printing you are more than welcome.
I would like to challenge the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin to make a scan of the original available in some form for posterity.
