Horned Adder (and Prey) Skeleton

3D Model

The skeleton of a horned adder (Bitis caudalis), a fluid-preserved specimen collected by Aaron Bauer. The remains of prey items can be seen in the abdomen.

This model was made using Volumegraphics VGStudioMax 3.3 from a CT scan produced by a Phoenix V|Tome|X S. 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).
