RVC Open Days

Bones are all we have left for many fossil species. The DAWNDINOS team explained to prospective students how they are full of information which we can use to reconstruct these extinct animals and understand how they lived. Students were fascinated by the 3D printed dinosaur bones!

The researchers also showed how they simulate movement in living & extinct animals  and how we use musculoskeletal models, the laws of physics, and mathematical optimization theory to simulate and reconstruct walking, running and other movements in the archosaurs in the DAWNDINOS  study.
