This anatomically accurate model (230 mm high - scale 1:2) has been created by paleoartist Bruce Currie with input from leading paleontologists. It is accurate to three orders of detail.
This model has been built using state of the art 3D printing technology. Following initial construction the model undergoes a secondary process that enhances surface quality, accentuates colouration and provides protection against UV damage and handling.
This is a carefully researched model.
Charnia masoni is an extinct, frond-like organism from the Ediacaran period (~560 mya). It is recognised as one of the first multi-cellular, complex lifeforms to appear on Earth
