Fingerprinting: Shapes/Patterns of prints

Double Loop--There is an “S” shape somewhere in the print


Plain Whorl-- Circular shaped spiral within the print
Central Pocket Loop-- Un-circular spiral within the print, similar to the plain whorl but less circular
Ulnar Loop—Lines, curves, and arches that enter at one side, turn, then exit the other side (open towards pinky)
Radial Loop—Lines, curves, and arches that enter at one side, turn, then exit the other side (open towards the thumb)
Plain arches—Arcs that are flat

Tented arches—Arcs that are steep (almost shaped like a triangle)

  1. This is a good post. Clear and concise. You may want to have an introduction paragraph.
