World wide skulls

Unleash your geek. This is brilliant. I dl'd the thrinaxodon skull movie from this gallery.

It's eerie. The animal peers out at you almost. It was created from CT scans of the skull.

You can get a lot more thrinaxodon models, and if you follow links you can get the same on loads of other weird and wonderfuls. You can even navigate a cladogram, which is cool.

I don't know what I admire more. The enormous skill and painstaking effort expended in making the many, many visualisations on Digimorph (a terabyte, which I believe is a lot of bytes) or the generosity and commitment to education shown by making them available online.
