NOT JUST A 3D MESH -- A RESEARCH-ALIGNED PALEO SPECIMEN
1:1 True Metric Scale | Anatomically Grounded | Production-Ready
Most prehistoric assets on marketplaces are fantasy sculpts with arbitrary proportions. This asset is engineered as a digital museum acquisition: metrically calibrated to the published size (0.10 m standard body length), verified for anatomical plausibility, and delivered with an illustrated species dossier.
WHY THIS SPECIMEN STANDS OUT
1:1 TRUE METRIC SCALE (0.10 m / 10 cm standard length):Aligned to +X axis, Y-Up, ground-snapped origin. Drops into Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine or Maya at exact historical scale -- zero manual rescaling or guesswork required.
THE MOST ABUNDANT FISH OF THE LUOPING BIOTA:Lashanichthys sui is a small fusiform kyphosichthyiform neopterygian from the Anisian of Luoping, Yunnan: glossy ganoid scales, a slightly raised back with ridge scutes, a small mouth with pointed teeth, and small fins. Originally described as Sangiorgioichthys sui and transferred to its own genus in 2019.
ILLUSTRATED SCIENTIFIC DOSSIER INCLUDED:Ships with a standalone species PDF documenting taxonomy, stratigraphic age, fossil locality, diagnostic characters and synonymy, plus a technical sheet with real mesh statistics.
ENGINE-READY GEOMETRY:Clean triangulated mesh (4,760 triangles) with outward-facing normals and clean UVs: light enough for real-time and AR, detailed enough for exhibits and documentary CG.
