3D model description

This is a model of an alligator, which was scanned with Computer Tomography. Source of the dataset: https://people.ohio.edu/witmerl/DinoSinuses_main.htm There was an Ostrich head and two dinosaur skulls in the stack, but I prefer the Gator. I segmented the soft tissues and the bones of the skull and first cervical vertebras and then converted them into two stl files, one for both. I scaled the model 1/10, because the head of the animal is too big for my printer. This is not "some art", this is real 3d reconstruction of a real animal, based on exact morphological data.
This model is for the contest of #ESUN3D
