ATLAS 3D: a bridge project between research and teaching in palaeontology

Résumé

The use of 3D imaging techniques is nowadays widespread in palaeontological research and o ers new opportunities to prepare demonstrative gures for publication, and tools to animate images for communication. Although the value of 3D technologies is fully demon- strated in research, it remains poorly explored for teaching biology, geology and palaeontology in the University undergraduate programs. We developed the project ATLAS 3D (Sorbonne Universite, FormInnov project): an in- teractive pdf of 3D objects commonly studied when teaching Natural Sciences including palaeontology. The transfer of research expertise to education is expected to improve the way students can learn and increase their skills. Examples of objects already available in ATLAS 3D include microfossils (foraminifers), cephalopods, cnidarian, brachiopods. ATLAS 3D can be used with an open access software (Adobe Acrobat Reader), allowing the user to navigate through the object using slicing tools. The anatomical structures can be selected and therefore viewed independently, allowing for example to highlight di erences between the external skeleton/shell and internal cavities or structures. Pre-selected views can also be recorded by the teacher in order to label or comment anatomical features. At the hinge of recent research in palaeontology and museography, this tool is designed to increase the autonomy of the students and ease the understanding of anatomy.
