3D Museum of Bones and Shells

3D Museum
Welcome to 3D Museum Website, maintained by the Vertebrate Paleobiology Lab of the University of California, Davis. This site was designed to explore the ways of communicating 3D morphological data over the Internet. The website is slowly under expansion, so please check back every three months or so to see its progress. Please send us suggestions. To see how the 3D images were made, view the Procedures Page. The website is hosted on a server at the University of California, Davis, and funded by the university and partly by NSF (EAR 0237223). See acknowledgements for more details. We can be contacted via Email.

Educational Resources
In addition to using our website for classroom reference material, 3D files in the format of .3dc (3D Compression Technologies file) can be used in PowerPoint presentations. To ease your pain, we have made PowerPoint files with the 3D objects embedded (PC only). Links to these PowerPoint files are found near the bottom of each page that displays .3dc objects. You would still need to install either 3DCT Viewer or 3DCT Share before 3D objects appear in your PowerPoint presentations. However, chances are you already have one installed on your machine, if you can rotate .3dc objects in your web browser. If you are interested, a detailed instruction for inserting .3dc file into PowerPoint is found on the company's website. If you have further request, please contact us by Email.
