3D animation of CT images of mastodon rib
The video is made from CT scans that reveal a dense object made from bone embedded in the mastodon rib. The object is shaped to a point, which is penetrated 2.15 cm into the rib, after which it broke after entering the rib and separated from the main shaft. The combined length of the point fragment (tip length plus the length of the embedded and external shaft piece) is 3.5 cm.
