Download a dinosaur (or 17)

Now you can download 17 digital versions of dinosaur bodies created by scientists at the UK’s The Royal Veterinary College, Hatfield, and other institutions. The bodies were made for a study of the biomechanics of dinosaurs — essentially, an attempt to reverse engineer some knowledge of how dinosaurs moved and how body shape and movement changed as dinosaurs got closer to becoming birds. I don’t really know exactly what you might do with these files, but they’re free and available to anyone. And, I figure, if somebody is going to come up with a fantastic use for digitized dinosaurs, it’s you guys.
