Balaenoptera ricei (USNM594665) Skull HOLOTYPE

3D Model

The specimen described following paper; ”A new species of baleen whale (Balaenoptera) from the Gulf of Mexico, with a review of its geographic distribution” Patricia E. Rosel Lynsey A. Wilcox Tadasu K. Yamada Keith D. Mullin https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/mms.12776

This 3D model was merged about dorso and ventral side. The ventral side of vomer partly lacks because maxilla and premaxilla was very loose to connect to caudal side rigid part of the skull and moved when taken pictures. For visibility, the color map was tuned on brightness. Especially, the markers color level were set RGB: 255, 0, 0 manually.
