The Visible Interactive Alligator – part of the Visible Interactive Anatomy series at WitmerLab at Ohio University Project ID: 00000C702 Public
87 Media · 1 Specimen · Managed by: Lawrence Witmer

The Visible Interactive Alligator. These open access resources—both here on MorphoSource and on the Ohio University site—present our work on the 3D anatomical structure of the head and skull of the American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis. These resources are outgrowths of our more technical work and are intended to serve as STEM educational aids for K-12 and undergraduate students, as well as researchers. Our published specimens include a "Day-0" hatchling, meaning it's from an animal that was stillborn on the day of hatching, as well as an adult head. We imported the scan data into workstations running Avizo and digitally extracted the bones and soft tissues. Former WitmerLab doctoral students participated, principally Dave Dufeau, who got the project started with the braincase and soft tissues of the hatchling, and Jason Bourke, who segmented the rest of the bones. More content will be added in the future. Funded by the National Science Foundation.
