3-D modeling
Scientists at Imperial College London created a detailed 3D computer model of the arachnid from fossils.[1][2]
gollark: “You need the power of the logarithm.” is apparently a quote by "Rich Hickey", which happens to be written on a page I have open on some persistent tree datastructure.
gollark: “There's nothing in the rulebook that says a golden retriever can't construct a self-intersecting non-convex regular polygon.” ← very quotable quote
gollark: I have a good quotes library on my server somewhere, but a bunch of them are unattributed.
gollark: There's an in browser x86 emulator somehow.
gollark: Imagine discord crash videos, but for your brain.
