I am sorry this is a late request but I was wondering if I could borrow some electronics calipers for the lesson next Tuesday. I can get them tomorrow or Monday.
Thanks,
Mayra

Hi Mayra, we don’t have electronic calipers. We have 17 manual ones that you can borrow. @michael-ziegler

5 years, 7 months ago5 years, 7 months agoHi,
I requested access to download a fossil from Morphosource last Thursday and was wondering how long it takes to get access since as of today it says that is pending. I need to have the 3D printed copies by the end of next week.
Thanks,
Mayra

5 years, 8 months ago5 years, 8 months agoHello,
For my iDigFossils lesson plan, I was wondering if I could borrow a bone from a modern cat and a Sabertooth fossil bone. I have access to the 3D scans but I would like my students to also see the real samples. I am planning on doing the lesson the week of August 20th.
Thanks,
Mayra

Hi Mayra, We will have to check with the collection managers for Mammology and in Vert Paleo for access to these. We will get back to you!
-
Hi @mayra-cordero, we have casts of Smilodon that you could borrow. I am still looking into modern cats.

HI, Jeanette!
This is awesome! Thanks so much!
