Bones are all we have left for many fossil species. This leaflet explains how they are full of information which can be used to rebuild extinct animals and understand how they lived.
It also shows how biomechanics tools are used to simulate movement in living & extinct animals and how musculoskeletal models, the laws of physics and mathematical optimization theory are used to reconstruct walking, running and other movements in the archosaurs and dinosaurs in the DAWNDINOS study.
