If anyone has a dead crocodilian in the freezer could you do a quick necropsy for me and post a picture of the cartilaginous cup in the eye. It is a structure that I believe is homologous to the scleral ossicles of most other reptiles and birds and I'm very interested in seeing one. If you're within 4 hours by car of Rhode Island I'll be willing to drive to you if you are willing to give me the carcass whole. I can perform the necropsy myself if you are uncomfortable. Email me please.

Not something most would have in their freezer lol. I would recommend finding a gator farm online they probably dispatch tons of them for their skins and meat and would probably have left over eyes, unless they throw those back in the parts to grind back up and feed to them.
