Printing Fossils
Instead of laboriously chipping delicate fossil bones from their enclosing matrix of rock, paleontologists like Brett Nachman are printing out 3D models of the bones based on CT scans of the fossils still locked in the rock. Elegant!
I’ve been involved in medieval recreation since 1975. I contributed to a manual for living history that later grew into the book Daily Life in Chaucer’s England, and have written and illustrated several articles on the medieval tournament.
This blog is mostly a platform for my other writing about the Middle Ages, and whatever else moves me: other history, movies, SF, space exploration, contemporary politics and economics. You can find my livejournal feed at Willscommonplac
