Indiana University Bloomington: Comparing Ice Age Mammals [Pdf]

This activity allows students to compare the morphologies of 3-D printed teeth from Ice Age mammals. Students will manipulate 3-D prints and record observations in order to infer the diet of megafauna and discuss the role of technology in paleontological research. The 3-D prints, representative of actual fossils collected in Indiana, will be generated by students using 3-D scans from the Indiana University Paleontology Collection.
