It was made available to the University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray CT Facility for scanning by Dr. David Cannatella of The University of Texas at Austin and the Amphibian Tree of Life project (EF-0334952). Funding for scanning and image processing was provided by Dr. Cannatella's grant and funding for additional image processing was provided by a National Science Foundation Digital Libraries Initiative grant to Dr. Timothy Rowe of The University of Texas at Austin.
