OpenVertebrate Presents a Massive Database of 13,000 3D Scans of Vertebrate Specimens

From The Florida Museum of Natural History comes the openVertebrate project, a new initiative to 'provide free, digital 3D vertebrate anatomy models and data to researchers, educators, students and the public.' Introducing the new project (otherwise known as oVert), the museum writes:

#openVertebrate (oVert) è un interessante progetto, finanziato dalla National Science Foundation statunitense, che in cinque anni, dal 2017 al 2023, ha realizzato alcune spettacolari ricostruzioni 3D di vertebrati utilizzando la tomografia computerizzata.

The completion of the openVertebrate (oVert) project is a significant milestone for natural history museums, as well as researchers, educators, students, and the public. The digital library is the first to offer free access to incredibly detailed – and, frankly, beautiful – 3D images of over 13,000…
