Printable 3D Fossil Resources

here is one site that has several fossil models in .stl format to download and print, or convert and use for other interesting projects...YEGGI

Accutrans 3D is a fantastic Model/Object Converter that opens and converts a host of model formats...

It is what I used to open these few and preview them various ways Accutrans 3D

I will add more 3D model sites as I come across them

Thanks for posting them.

There's also this site where you can download all the scans from the baby Parasaurolophus Joe. Though for printing the models probably need to be converted first.

NASA has also started offering their models of Meteorites, Landers, Rockets, and Satellites as .stl files for 3d printers, as well as the higher resolution versions...

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.

The database currently contains only a selection of specimens and is still being populated.

not many models yet, but a great site to keep an eye on...

one of the many models offered at AUTODESK 123D:

in addition to free models, joining gives access to 10 "premium" models a month for free

Mind-boggling!
