Applied paleobiomechanics / Est. MMXXIV

Ancient life.
In motion.

We reconstruct how extinct animals moved, fed, and endured—turning fossil form into testable mechanical stories.

02 — The method

From stone
to system.

Fossils are not static objects. They are the surviving components of once-living machines.

  1. 01

    Recover

    Document morphology with high-resolution scanning and comparative anatomy.

  2. 02

    Reconstruct

    Restore missing structures and infer soft tissues from living analogues.

  3. 03

    Simulate

    Apply forces, constraints, and material properties in digital experiments.

  4. 04

    Interpret

    Translate mechanical performance into ecological and evolutionary insight.

Our premise

“Every fossil is a machine
with its instructions missing.”

We bring engineers, paleontologists, and visual thinkers together to recover those instructions.
