| In 1990, researchers from Washington University Medical School published a three-dimensional CT scan of the Taung Child endocast, and Falk subsequently reconstructed it again using more advanced computer technology. |
| Scientists used computer tomography scans of the creature's skull to create a three dimensional virtual model of the surface of its brain, called an endocast. |
| Originally, even Schaaffhausen was using a cast, and he had to ask Fuhlrott's permission to mould an endocast. |
| Called an endocast, the model shows a variety of features, including the brain's size, shape, vessels, and convolutions. |
| An endocast or internal mold is formed when sediments or minerals fill the internal cavity of an organism, such as the inside of a bivalve or snail or the hollow of a skull. |
