Micro-CT Scanning Common Thresher Shark (VIDEO)
Caption
A three-quarter view of a micro-CT scanned vertebral column segment and a single micro-CT scanned vertebra of a common thresher shark. In the thresher column, the frontmost vertebra is a transverse cross-section displaying four sectors of mineralized microstructure. The video "digitally dissects" into the segment to show a sagittal cross-section of the consecutive veterbrae. In the single thresher vertebra, the video dissolves the anterior face of the vertebra to show the intricate microstructure quantified in the study.
