imaging

[paul sparks <pwsparks@direcway.com>]

Last year we discussed the use of imaging techniques to exchange physical
information of any and all dinos and related taxis. At the time if I
remember right the consensus was that it wan not possible with current
technologies.

Yesterday I was mucking about and fell into "Digimorph" at
http://digimorph.org/index.phtml
I was rather impressed with what they had done. What I would like to know is
if the detail of what is presented is sufficient to be a major help this
side of actually seeing and feeling the fossil. Are we getting there. Note:
the contours seen show the level of detail achieved and are not an artifact
of the fossil.
