Your Daily Fossil
RSSWhere I was today instead of writing an entry for you! ;)
This is the CT scanner at the American Museum of Natural History. It is a fickle beast. Hence the dunce cap upon the top of the machine. Putting specimens in here and bombarding them with X-rays gives us a digital image of the object, such as the elephant skull I linked yesterday.
The close up view shows a specimen in the midst of being scanned.
Busy busy busy!

The first thing I thought was “that looks really similar to a Haas Mill.”
