More model informationSand dollar skeleton, or ‘test’ of a species from the Mellita genus (L. Agassiz, 1841). Specimen was scanned using X-ray microtomography to produce a 3D tomogram at the Advanced Imaging of Materials (AIM) Facility, College of Engineering, Swansea University. This was then simplified and just the surface information extracted to create this surface model. The sample is housed in the Zoology Museum, College of Science, Swansea University, and loaned for the purposes of scanning. Thanks to curator, Sarah Walmsley.
The model can be downloaded here as a PLY file.
