Short description
Skull with colored elements
Full description
Skull of a green anaconda, Eunectes murinus, with bones colored and labelled to demonstrate skull anatomy. Digital dissection and scene by Jaimi Gray. 3D model produced from a CT scan of a Florida Museum of Natural History specimen (UF herp 84822). Segmentation and mesh files generated using VG Studio Max. Meshes further edited and animation produced in Blender. Anatomy follows Cundall and Irish (2008) “The Snake Skull” in Biology of the Reptilia, Volume 20, Morphology H (Gans, Gaunt and Adler). Scanning funded by the oVert TCN project at the University of Florida (NSF DBI-1701714) https://tinyurl.com/oVertwiki.
