[gecko]skulls

[Gregory Watkins-Colwell]

One of the projects we are involved with here includes making C.T. ("cat") scans of various skulls of various species for use in morphology studies.  This is a collaborative project involving lots of folks at a few institutions.  So far, only a few geckos have been done.   At least one of those geckos was donated (after it died sadly of natural causes) by a GGA member. Check them out!  be sure to check out the pitch, yaw, and roll films!
