This specimen was collected from Lone Barsloot Stranger Cave and was made available to The University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray CT Facility for scanning by John Allman of Cal Tech, courtesy of the Duke Lemur Center. Funding for image processing was provided by an National Science Foundation Digital Libraries Initiative grant to Dr. Timothy Rowe of The University of Texas at Austin.
