[Geology2] Mapping Dino Footprints in 3-D

I love when that happens . . .

Mapping Dino Footprints in 3-D
PhysOrg.com [USA], May 3, 2011

The May 2011 issue of Earth Magazine reports on the research of SMU
paleontologists in the SMU Huffington Department of Earth Sciences. In a
project led by SMU paleontologist Thomas L. Adams, the scientists used
portable laser scanning technology to capture field data of a huge 110
million-year-old Texas dinosaur track and then create to scale an exact
3D facsimile. They have shared their protocol and findings with the
public — as well as their downloadable 145-megabyte model — in the
online scientific journal Palaeontologia Electronica.
