Thanks for all the work done by the MorphoSource Team. Easily my most important data source and data repository by now. Transformative for the way we can share CT and 3D data!

Just uploaded ~70 new CT scans of catfishes onto @MorphoSource with even more to come. This include the thorny catfish, Rhinodoras armbrusteri. Check them out now at Morphosource.org Scans were done by @mtanichthys and @KolmannMA. #ScanAllFishes #oVERTTCN
For our latest paper, I have made all CT scans (that I have authority for) publicly available on @MorphoSource. Check out the data here: morphosource.org/Detail/Proj…
New article out! Turtles have an unusual middle ear morphology, which is compartmentalised mediolaterally. The lateral cavity has quite some shape diversity. We tested if this correlated with habitat ecology. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Hey fellow #STEMEducators! Here is a #3DPrinting lesson plan I wrote with @FloridaMuseum scientists for teaching #evolution, comparative anatomy, and predation strategies using cat and dog megafauna. All #STL files downloadable from @MorphoSource for free! xitter.cf/paleoteach/status/9521… xitter.cf/paleoteach/status/9521… – at Gainesville, FL
We have a brand new High School lesson using 3D printed fossils: What is in an arm? How does forelimb anatomy of carnivorans affect ecological niche and evolutionary advantages? All 3D files are available FREE idigfossils.org/high-school/… @STELAR_CTR @eldrbob @edneuro @UF_COE
