This dataset provides a 3D reconstruction of a fossil specimen from the palaeontological collection of the Musée national d'histoire naturelle Luxembourg (MNHNL). The reconstruction was created using photogrammetry, a technique that generates 3D models from overlapping 2D photographs.

Specimen Details:
Taxon: Kettneraspis dickinsoni Van Viersen, 2025
Time period: Pragian (410.8 to 407.6 million years ago)
Gathering location: Ma'der Basin, southern Morocco
Type status: Holotype
MNHNL collection number: QC441
The original specimen of this fossil is kept at the palaeontological collection of the Luxembourg National Museum of Natural History (MNHNL) in Luxembourg.

This dataset contains:

1. Online 3D Model: A link to an interactive, viewable version of the 3D model hosted on Sketchfab.
2. Original Photogrammetry Images: The complete set of high-resolution photographs used to create the 3D reconstruction.
3. 3D Model Files: Multiple resolutions of the 3D model in .obj format, including corresponding texture files as raster images. These files can be viewed and processed offline using MeshLab.
