Good morning from Pacific Paleontology. Here’s a recent 3-D scan we made of a fossil giant Grandicrepidula princeps, the Princess Slipper snail. 3D scanning has gotten a lot easier today, and we made this one with a simple app for iPhone called Photo Catch. It took about 2 minutes to create from video and the app also has a Mac Desktop version and we use it frequently for these projects. And even though I say the worms are parasites in the video, I'm not sure they actually caused the snail any harm; they may thus just be commensal as well. Enjoy.
