Short description
Right forelimb with elements colored to demonstrate forelimb anatomy
Full description
Skeleton of the right forelimb of a juvenile American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis (specimen UF Herp 21461), a fluid preserved specimen of the collections of the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida, with elements colored to demonstrate forelimb anatomy. This scene was created by Jaimi Gray (oVert team). Forelimb bones segmented and mesh files generated from CT data using Avizo (version 2020.1). Meshes further edited, repositioned, and colored using Blender and Meshlab. Data collection funded by oVert Thematic Collections Network (TCN), NSF DBI-1701714 (https://tinyurl.com/oVertwiki)
