LB1 cranium cast, 3D model (Smithsonian 3D)

A scan of a cast, not the fossil. No scans of the original Liang Bua or Mata Menge fossils were found on MorphoSource on 26 October 2026 (searches for "floresiensis", "Liang Bua" and "LB1" returned no hominin records), contrary to the scout's note. A Liang Bua cave scan is also listed on Smithsonian 3D (3d.si.edu/object/3d/liang-bua:e35f4bf0-3f9d-4e6b-8c67-12b47023bbe6).
