Image of Nanorchestes Topsent & Trouessart 1890
Description:
Photographed here under a low magnification of 98x, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) depicted some of the external morphologic features of a deceased lizards foot found desiccated on the suburban grounds of Decatur, Georgia. Note the armor-like appearance of the horny scaled exterior. The clawed morphology displayed by the reptile's foot closely reflects that displayed by birds as well.
