3D models of Ediacaran organisms (NERC Grant NE/V010859/2)
3D models of Ediacaran organisms generated using NURBS modelling for use in computer simulations of fluid flow. Models built between 2021 and 2023 using the computer-aided design program Rhinoceros 3D. File names refer to different fossil taxa and surfaces. STP files can be opened with most CAD software, including freely available programs such as Autodesk Fusion 360 and FreeCAD.

Three-dimensional digital models of key Ediacaran taxa were produced using the computer-aided design program Rhinoceros 3D version 7 (www.rhino3d.com). Non-uniform rotational basis spline (NURBS) models were created based on photographs, detailed observations of well-preserved specimens and published reconstructions.
