Featured on the homepage in June is a 3D model of a century-old cast of the mummified head of the Oxford dodo, the only existing mummified head of a dodo in the world. This plaster cast was acquired by the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology in the late 19th century. The specimen was scanned and displayed with permission from the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. The resolution of the interactive online digital model has been lowered to allow easy manipulation.
