Yes there are. The Virtual Zooarchaeology of the Arctic Project:
http://vzap.iri.isu.edu has a range of vertebrate skulls available to
download.
They've chosen the U3D format saved to PDF as an easy way to widely
distribute
the scans, but you can do linear and angle measurements in acrobat with
them.
I think they have higher resolution models available as well, but
haven't fully
explored the site yet.
They talk about it in this article:
Betts et al. 2011. Virtual zooarchaeology: building a web-based reference
collection of northern vertebrates for archaeofaunal research and education

Dear Morphometricians,
please, does anyone know if there's any chance to get free 3D images (from
surface scanners or other) of mammal skulls somewhere on the web?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Andrea
