High-quality scientific illustration is an important visualization tool for natural sciences. In paleontology, drawings help toguide the reader to important features of the fossils under study, and to remove irrelevant information or strong shadowsthat might obscure parts of photographs. Furthermore, drawings allow for the deformation of the fossils to be corrected.However, for an accurate interpretation of these reconstruction drawings, it is important to provide a detailed reportabout the creation of the drawings.Herein, we describe the methodology of the reconstruction drawing of a skull of the sauropod dinosaur Galeamopus. Afterpreparation and reconstruction of the skull in the laboratory, illustrations were needed to correct natural deformations,restore missing parts, and highlight critical features for anatomical recognition of the several bones. The illustrations weresuccessful thanks to the collaborative work between the paleontologist and the illustrator.
====================================================
Print this out & it will make the 3rd sauropod skull I've framed & hung on my wall.

Hmm, I wonder if you could 3d print an entire skeleton somewhere.
