We have created 3D maps with 3D tiling capability, 3D rock & fossil models, and 360degree aerial panoramas (AP360) for Virtual Field Trips (VFTs) in Saguache County, Colorado. We have also created 2D tiled gigapixel images in Kingsland, Texas. These VFT tools will help students better learn the geographical and geological importance in those areas. By utilizing various 2D and 3D VFT tools with lots of geospatial data, students will be able to view the geology outcrops in a variety of ways

ABSTRACT TILED GIGAPIXEL IMAGES 3D ROCK AND FOSSIL MODELS We have created 3D models of rocks and fossils using SfM-MVS photogrammetry. The quality of 3D models has greatly improved by enhanced photographic techniques.
