About this 3D model

This specimen (SDSNH 21212) was collected at La Jolla Shores, San Diego County, California, in October 1957, by R.M. Gilmore. Many teeth were no longer in their alveoli when scanned, and it is possible that some of the teeth were not placed in their appropriate alveoli in these scans. The left zygomatic is broken at the junction between the squamosal and jugal. The degree of wear on the teeth and fusion of the bones of the braincase indicate the specimen's maturity.
