This rolled thumb print shows a double loop whorl pattern yielding both ulnar and radial ridge counts (see Medland et al., e165).

Image Credit: The print was collected using an electronic rolled fingerprint scanner (ACCO1394, Smiths Heimann Biometrics). Colors were modified using image J (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/). The figure was collected and edited by Sarah E. Medland.
