Star nosed mole forelimb (YPM Mam 014548)

3D Model

Skeleton of the right forelimb of a star nosed mole, Condylura cristata (specimen YPM Mam 014548), a fluid preserved sepcimen at the Yale Peabody Museum, with elements colored to demonstrate forelimb anatomy. This scene was created by Jaimi Gray (oVert team) using pre-existing mesh files (see below) which were edited to separate, reposition, and color elements in Blender and Meshlab.

Original mesh files made with 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).
