Tapir Forelimb (MEO 2204b)

3D Model

Skeleton of the left forelimb (mirrored) of a South American tapir, Tapirus terrestris (specimen MEO 2204b), a skeletal specimen from MuseOs Natuurhistorisch Museum in Belgium, with elements colored to demonstrate forelimb anatomy. Scene created by Jaim Gray (oVert team). Prexisting meshes (see below) were assembled, edited, and colored using Blender and Meshlab.

Mr. Luc Tyteca masserated and cleaned the bones. Original Mesh models were generated by Jamie MacLaren, laser scanned at between 1.0 and 0.5 mm resolution in 2016 at the University of Antwerp Lab of Functional Morphology.
