This model was made by Karina Riddell using Volumegraphics VGStudioMax 3.3 from a CT scan produced at the Yale Translational Research Imaging Center (Y-TRIC). The model was generated to complement a learning activity designed during the UF Center for Precollegiate Education and Training workshop “3D Vertebrates: From Museum Shelves to Classrooms.” Scanning and modeling of this specimen was funded by the oVert project at the University of Florida (NSF DBI 1701714, https://tinyurl.com/oVertwiki).
