Dozens of fascinating digital 3D models are shedding new light on specimens held at the University of Dundee’s D’Arcy Thompson Museum while enhancing the learning of anatomy students around the world. State-of-the-art scanning and design techniques have been deployed to digitise prairie dogs, puffer fish and giant tortoises as well as the skulls of elephants, rhinoceroses and other items from the collection of D’Arcy Thompson, Dundee’s celebrated first Professor of Biology. The resulting 3D models are hosted online and are available for viewing and downloading worldwide under a creative commons licence. This has led to one of the items, a skull thought to belong to an Indian Elephant being reclassified as that of an African Forest Elephant following comments posted by an expert. The catalogue of models also includes the sectioned skull a Thylacine, otherwise known as the Tasmanian Wolf, an extinct species of carnivorous marsupial. So far the models have been viewed over 10,000 times in more than 25 countries with over 1600 downloads having taken place. The digital collection is being used in a variety of learning and teaching initiatives around the world, including at the University of Queensland in Australia.
