I have a blind student in a biology class in which the class is studying the similarity of skeleton limb structures of various animals. I would like printable models of the limbs of animals. These would include the upper arm, forearm, wrist, and hand/foot for several different species of birds, quadrupeds, bipeds, and marine mammals. Ideally, I would like individually printable bones; for example, in the hand/foot I would like individually printable metacarpals, metatarsals, and phalanges, that the blind student can "put together"" to "see" how they operate and how they are similar in different types of animals. Any help in this area is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Michael, I'd be glad to work on this. I'm going to pass these instructions onto a group of engineering students who will work on this as a part of a class project. If there is additional information you would like me to give them, please let me know. Otherwise my email is sekr...@live.unc.edu if you have any questions. I'll try and give regular updates. Models will be done at the latest by April- although if you have a time you want them done by let me know and I'll try and get them done faster.
