FIGURE 5. Dicraeosaurus sattleri (MFN unnumbered) left scapula. (1) point cloud file as digitized. (2) Polygon mesh created in Rhinoceros®. Note the massive meshing errors along the edges of the bone and on thin surface parts. (3) Polygon mesh created in Geomagic®. Note the drastically lower number of meshing errors and the smaller triangle size along the bone edges. Meshing has also closed the coracoid foramen. (4) Finished 3D surface based on (3) after editing in Geomagic®. Length of the scapula 1067 mm.
