Based on the 2012 PLoS ONE article (http://bit.ly/xSeKMr) by F. Knoll, L. M. Witmer, F. Ortega, R. C. Ridgely, and D. Schwarz-Wings . CT scanning and 3D visualization of the braincase of the basal sauropod Spinophorosaurus from the Jurassic of Africa reveals new findings on the brain and inner ear during the transition from basal sauropodomorphs to more derived sauropods. Funded by the CSIC and NSF. Movie by Ridgely & Witmer, courtesy of WitmerLab at Ohio University. For news, visit http://www.facebook.com/witmerlab.

Skulls of a juvenile and subadult Corythosaurus fade to reveal the brain and nasal passages within. The complicated nasal passages within the showy crest functioned as resonating chambers during vocalization. The structure of the inner ear and expanded brain confirms that lambeosaurine duck-billed dinosaurs were capable of perhaps sophisticated behavioral communication. These findings were published in a 2009 article by David Evans, Ryan Ridgely, and Lawrence Witmer: http://bit.ly/blIJ9W. This video derives from CT scan data of juvenile (ROM 759) and subadult (CMN 34825) skulls scanned at O'Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio. The video was generated by Ryan Ridgely using Amira, Maya, and QuickTime.

Halloween is big deal at Ohio University and in Athens, Ohio. WitmerLab celebrates this year by morphing our favorite human skull into a vampiric demon. This skull (OUVC 10503) has appeared in published articles (http://bit.ly/96QCa3), on other YouTube vids (http://bit.ly/tXq306, http://bit.ly/sCycYp), and is featured on our WitmerLab/OU-HCOM 3D Interactive Human Anatomy site (http://bit.ly/opWcy6). The skull was CT scanned for research purposes, but for this Halloween video we used Maya to morph the skull into something altogether science-free. Witmer story-boarded and sound-edited the video, Ryan Ridgely skillfully executed it using his unique combination of technical skill and artistry, and Amy Martiny generated the Halloween text and graphic elements.

The Field Museum in Chicago has a few Mold-A-Rama machines, which are updated repros of the machines from the 1960s. I remember dropping a quarter into a Mold-A-Rama machine at the Sinclair Oil Company's DinoLand exhibit in association with the 1964-1965 World's Fair and getting models very much like this...but larger. Still, they come out warm and waxy and smelling of plastic. Memories.

http://bit.ly/opWcy6 Human skull animation that yaws, rolls, and explodes into individual bones, which are labeled. The skull (OUVC 10503) was CT scanned at O'Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio. Ryan Ridgely segmented all of the bones in Amira and generated the movies in QuickTime. Jason Bourke did the labeling. QuickTime movies and 3D PDFs of this and similar animations are available at: http://www.oucom.ohiou.edu/dbms-witme... Also, check out http://www.facebook.com/witmerlab

Keep doing big things,
Justin
I meant "YOU do some GREAT scientific research!"
XD
I do some GREAT scientific research! U make people know more bout TRUE palaeontology, not dat stupid jurassic fight club and trash of da dinosaurs... -_-
And ur skull reconstructions r so accurate and have a such amazin hd!
Thanks 4 ur awesome videos!
keep up this amazing work, it is very important to know everything about the anatomical and physiological features of dinosaurs, crocodiles, birds and other vertebrate animals.
