Skeleton of the right wing of an Atlantic puffin, Fratercula arctica (specimen CM Birds A5618), a fluid-preserved specimen from the collections of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, 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.
Segmentation and original mesh files made by Karina Riddell using Volumegraphics VGStudioMax 3.3. 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).
