Computed reconstruction of spatial ammonoid-shell orientation captured from digitized grinding and landmark data
First 3D-visualization of an ammonoid mass-occurrence from the Upper Triassic. Classical orientation analyses combined with modern 3D-visualization techniques. A modern method as template for any kind of abundant fossil or solid matter. Starting points for a discussion on the orientation in fossil deposits during various environmental conditions.
