Media are grouped by projects created by users. Projects tend to contain media tied together by a theme. A project might represent the dataset for a single peer-reviewed paper, the results of a collections digitization project, or data for a digital lesson plan.
Projects can be used to share media ownership and access between project members, and projects can also be used to publish assortments of media and specimens for access and discovery by the public. If you want to share media ownership and access with multiple users across multiple projects, consider creating a user team. Projects can be managed by teams, and users with access to that team also gain access to any projects managed by that team.

Display all details of Mesozoic Vertebrate Fossil Tracks / Zion National Park | Mesh models from several fossil tracksites within Zion National Park, Utah, USA. Models are named by their Utah Geologic Survey (UGS) site number and include information on the track types described in each model. Tracks range in age, dependent on the formation they occur within. These include vertebrate tracks from the Virgin Limestone Member of the Moenkopi Formation (251.2-247.2 Ma), Kayenta Formation (200 Ma) and the Navajo Sandstone (190 Ma). Some specimens rendered still reside within the Zion wilderness and are therefore still at risk to destruction due to natural hazards. Because of this, these models act as crucial resources in preserving these fossils for generations to come. | Zion National Park (ZION), Utah, USA | Bennett, Conner | 0 | 0 |
Display all details of Rollot et al. 2023. 3D models of Allaeochelys libyca | This project contains the cranial 3D models for the specimen BSPG 1991 II 130 of Allaeochelys libyca. These files were uploaded as supplements for the paper "A digital redescription of the middle Miocene (Langhian) carettochelyid turtle Allaeochelys libyca" by Yann Rollot, Serjoscha Evers, and Walter Joyce. The manuscript is currently under review at Fossil Record, please refrain from using 3D models until the article is published. The CT scans and 3D models of the partial cranium and endosseous labyrinth are already available at MorphoSource under the projects "Evers. 2021. Fossil turtle cranial CT scans" (https://www.morphosource.org/projects/000350496) and "Evers. 2021. Extant and fossil amniote labyrinth and cranial models" (https://www.morphosource.org/projects/000372533). | 23 | 1 | ||

Display all details of Convergent evolution of ventral adaptations for enrollment in trilobites and extant euarthropods | The ability to enroll for protection is an effective defensive strategy that has convergently evolved multiple times in disparate animal groups ranging from euarthropods to mammals. Enrollment is an evolutionary staple habit of trilobites, and their biomineralized dorsal exoskeleton offered a versatile substrate for the evolution of interlocking devices. However, it is unknown whether trilobites also featured ventral adaptations for enrolment. Here, we report ventral exoskeletal adaptations that facilitate enrollment in exceptionally preserved trilobites from the Upper Ordovician Walcott-Rust Quarry in New York State, USA. Walcott-Rust trilobites reveal the intricate three-dimensional organization of the non-biomineralized ventral anatomy preserved as calcite casts, including the spatial relationship between the articulated sternites (i.e., ventral exoskeletal plates) and the wedge-shaped protopodites. Enrollment in trilobites is achieved by ventrally dipping the anterior margin of the sternites during trunk flexure, facilitated by the presence of flexible membranes, and with the close coupling of the wedge-shaped protopodites. Comparisons with the ventral morphology of extant glomerid millipedes and terrestrial isopods reveal similar mechanisms used for enrollment. The wedge-shaped protopodites of trilobites closely resemble the gnathobasic coxa/protopodite of extant horseshoe crabs. We propose that the trilobites’ wedge-shaped protopodite simultaneously facilitated tight enrollment and gnathobasic feeding with the trunk appendages. | Sarah R. Losso | 8 | 4 | |
