3D scan of a Southern stout-legged moa (*Euryapteryx curtus gravis*) skeleton from the Holocene. Moas are extinct birds that lived on New Zealand. This skeleton was donated to the museum by Dr. Julius Ritter von Haast in 1884. 

This specific skeleton is housed backstage, but complete skeletons of both a southern giant moa (*Dinornis robustus*, formally called *Dinornis maximus*) and another stout-legged moa are number 77 of the NHM Top 100 and can be found in Hall 30 of the NHM Vienna. Three more skeletons of different moa species are on display in the Ice Age (Eiszeit) corridor.

**Specimen**: Southern stout-legged moa, *Euryapteryx curtus gravis* (Owen, 1870)

**Inventory number**: NHMW-GEO-2021/0008/0001

S. Stout-legged Moa (NHMW-GEO-2021/0008/0001)

Petroglyph J6, Khatm Al Melaha, Kalba, Sharjah.  Anthropomorphic figures in several styles, domestic goats, ibexes, and other motifs. All are common throughout the region. 

Khatm Al Melaha is a spectacular archaeological site on the coast of the Oman Sea near Kalba in Sharjah, UAE. It is one of the largest rock art sites in the UAE. There are also stone houses, a shell midden, stone tombs and other features that date this site has having occupations from at least the early Holocene to the 19th century.

Over 175 stones with petroglyphs were documented and close to 400 motifs were identified. Every rock with a glyph was given an ID number and a GPS coordinate. In total 25455 terrestrial photographs, 5244 drone photographs, 44 drone videos, and 182 GPS points (+/- 1cm) were done in a single day.

**carnivores ice age**
The mammoth was a genus of pachyderms that lived 
during the Ice Age. There were many types of mammoth that ranged in size from as tall as a giraffe to as short and plump as a pig. The species appearing in Carnivores Ice Age and Carnivores: Ice Age is a woolly mammoth, a species covered in coarse hair that lived throughout the Northern hemisphere during the Pleistocene. Mammoths were similar in shape and form to modern elephants, but most species were larger, with longer tusks and smaller ears, and often a shorter tail.
**accurate**
Mammuthus is an extinct genus of proboscidean mammals in the family Elephantidae, commonly known as mammoths. They existed from approximately 4.8 million years ago until just 3,700 years ago, during the Pliocene (Late Neogene), Pleistocene, and Holocene (Quaternary) epochs. Numerous species have been described, with the woolly mammoth being the most well-known.

**Species:** *Bison bison*

**Element:** Femur

**Side:** Right

**Provenience:** Trinity River alluvium, Dallas, Texas, USA

**Period:** Late Holocene

**Attribution:**  Archaeology Research Collections, Southern Methodist University.  Collected by Timothy Dalby.  Scan and digitization by Rooms 14, 16, and 17 fourth graders at The Lamplighter School, Dallas, Texas

Bison femur (right)

Modeled from images of a real specimen. The Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) was a large, shaggy-haired relative of modern elephants that inhabited the cold steppe-tundra of the Northern Hemisphere during the Ice Age. It declined due to a combination of climate change at the end of the last glacial period and pressure from human hunting, with small isolated populations surviving into the Holocene. The last known population persisted on Wrangel Island until around 4,000 years ago before going extinct. Base model created with AI tools, then sculpted/edited in Blender for scientific accuracy. Life sized model, roughly 7.5 foot tusks
