Computer model of Romundina's scull

Computer model based on scan data from the 2 cm long Romundina scull. Gold/orange and grey represents different types of bone. The brain cavity and nerves are shown in yellow, veins in blue, arteries in red. Romundina has separate left and right nostrils, but they sit far back, behind an upper lip like that of a jawless vertebrate.
