Dissecting Scipionyx
The first reconstruction of the internal anatomy of this famous specimen, one of the most well-preserved dinosaur fossil (the organs had retained microstructures even at the cellular level). Scientific Supervision: Simone Maganuco, Cristiano Dal Sasso / Take a look to this monograph for more details (It's freely downloadable) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/231347243_Scipionyx_samniticus_Theropoda_Compsognathidae_from_the_Lower_Cretaceous_of_Italy_Osteology_ontogenetic_assessment_phylogeny_soft_tissue_anatomy_taphonomy_and_paleobiology
a preparatory phase. Each cervical vertebra has its own distinctive features (well explained in the osteological monograph by Dal Sasso & Maganuco)
The original fossil and a 3d printed version of the model (made in collaboration with Tacheolab), displayed at the SPI 2019 paleo-congress, in Benevento. Here I was with Cristiano Dal Sasso, the first paleontologist to study this rare fossil.
