    Quotation: "The GB3D Type Fossils Online project, funded by JISC, aims to develop a single database of the type specimens, held in British collections, of macrofossil species and subspecies found in the UK, including links to photographs (including 'anaglyph' stereo pairs) and a selection of 3D digital models."

     

    From "GB3D Type Fossils Online" a 3D picture of Kosmoceras (Bikosmokeras) geminatum (Buckman, SS.):

    I determined this specimen and it seems that I made a mistake. Kosmoceratids are very hard for identification due their high variability. So let it be just Kosmoceras sp. I can't find name for it.
