Vertebrates
“Vertebrates” is a term that refers to animals with backbones. These include everything we now commonly call fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and all of their extinct close relatives. Many of these groups are well-represented in our collections, but in the early stages of this project, our 3D models cover only a few groups that figure in research by UMMP faculty.
