My Ammonite

[william3dartist]

Hi Guys,

I'm new on here and I am a 3D Artist or Artist in general from 2D Illustrations to 3D. I really enjoyed learning as a child about dinosaurs and all animals. My Dad still holds on to my old Dinosaur toys and animal cards to this day and wont give them back to have something to remember me by. I will be 3D Modeling this Ammonite and animating it. I will share my progress on here with you all. I have an image below of my fossil as well as a 3D scan of it I had done, a while back at the Siggraph animation / technology convention by 3 rivers 3D. http://www.3rivers3d.com/gallery1.html. Thanks,

William

That is a beauty!! Looks like Blandifordiceras from Nepal. They are revered as an incarnation of Vishnu.

Very interesting!

A curiosity:The term "Ammonite" had its origin in the similarity of the fossils with Amon's (the god of the gods, in the Egyptian mythology) horns (he was often associated to the ram).
