The Virtual Skeletons Project is funding by the Division of Undergraduate Education of the National Science Foundation as part of the interagency Digital Libraries initiative sponsored by the federal government. Projects include eSkeletons.org, eForensics.info, eFossils.org, and eKids.eSkeletons.org. The purpose of these sites is to enable you to view bones of both human and non-human primates and to gather information about them from our osteology database.

This site provides an interactive environment in which to examine and learn about skeletal anatomy. This includes:

• high-quality images of bones
• lables of all muscles, articulations, and morphological features
• high-resolution 3-D renderings of the skeletal elements in both animation (Quicktime) and interactive virtual reality (VRML) format

This site makes use of several technologies that require browser plugins. Before you start you should visit the plugins page to ensure that you have the proper plugins to take full advanatage of this site.

After you have done this, please contact us to let us know who you are and what you think.

Thank you for visiting the eSkeletons.org Digital Library Project.
