12. PARTIAL SCARRED PATTERNS Definition: A pattern in which is scarred about the core so that the general pattern type cannot be determined with reasonable accuracy, but the ridges allow reasonably accurate subclassification by ridge tracings or counting. Pattern is given the classification of the opposite finger first, if it could possibly be, and referenced to any other possibilities. If it could not reasonably have been opposite finger, classify as it appears, and reference to any other possibilities.

13. PARTIAL SCARRED PATTERNS Patterns, ridge counts, and tracings are classified separately. If the scar affects the pattern type, but not the ridge count or tracing, then it is not necessary to reference the ridge count or tracing. If the scar affects the ridge count or tracing, but not the pattern type, then it is not necessary to reference the pattern type. Any partial scar that requires a reference to another pattern type, as a result of the scar, should be referenced to “SR” which is the two digit classification for scar.

14. PARTIAL SCARRED PATTERNS Could be loop or whorl, but not an arch

15. PARTIAL SCARRED PATTERNS Could be loop or whorl, but not an arch

16. PARTIAL SCARRED PATTERNS Could be loop or whorl, but not an arch

18. COMPLETE SCARRED PATTERNS Definition: A pattern in which is so scarred about the core that neither the general type of pattern nor the ridge tracing or count can be determined with reasonable accuracy. The pattern will have the potential to be ALL three of the general pattern types. The two-digit classification code for a Complete Scar is “SR”.

19. COMPLETE SCARRED PATTERNS Could possibly be an Arch, Loop or Whorl.

20. COMPLETE SCARRED PATTERNS Could possibly be an Arch, Loop or Whorl.

22. PARTIAL AMPUTATED OR TIP AMPS If less than half of the “pattern area” is missing, classify the partial amp as it appears and reference it to the opposite finger and “XX” which is the two digit classification for amp. Partial amps present problems in classification because it is a matter of experience and judgment as to a preferred classification.

24. There must be a notation from the contributor stating the reason the fingerprint block is empty.

25. Acceptable notations for an Amputation are: *Amp, *Amputated, *Missing at Birth, *Cut-off, or *Shot-off.
