Explore Australian fossils in 3D<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

From this page you can explore 3D scans of some of Australia’s iconic fossils.<\/p>\n

We have selected rare and important specimens from museum collections, including type specimens that are usually kept behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

Click on the images below to find 3D scans of extinct animals, fossil footprints, teeth, and more.<\/p>\n

Note that some 3D scans are very large files. They may take some time to load in the viewer.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
