It was found by a class of high school students on a fossil-hunting field trip in 1936, and the teacher of that class of students, Frederick Carl Kessler, was able to arrange for his students to work alongside professional paleontologists to excavate the fossil skeleton. What makes this particular Stegosaurus so special is not the fact that it was found in CaГ±on City, Colorado, or even that it was mostly complete, a very rare thing for dinosaur skeletons. Stegosaurus was a herbivorous dinosaur weighing up to 10 tons that inhabited the area now called Colorado 150 million years ago. Not just the species of dinosaur, but the individual specimen that was adopted to represent the state. The 26-foot-long Stegosaurus represents ColoradoвЂ™s State Dinosaur.

One of the most iconic scenes depicted in a dinosaur exhibit has to be the Stegosaurus and Allosaurus facing off in the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Tools Used: Artec Space Spider, Artec StudioДЄ 1:1 scale 3D printed replica of ColoradoвЂ™s State Symbol, the Kessler Stegosaurus, has been created for a local museum with the help of Artec Spider 3D scanner. The Goal: To 3D scan the Stegosaurus in extremely high detail color and create a viewable/printable 3D model thatвЂ™s a perfect copy. Summary: Multiple museums across the United States wanted to have copies of a 9-foot-tall, 26-foot-long Stegosaurus skeleton at the Denver Museum.
