Hugo Bouaziz Logo, Maëva J. Orliac Logo, Mohd Waqas Logo, Rajendra Rana Logo, Thierry Smith Logo and Romain Weppe Logo
Published online: 20/01/2025

Keywords: Canine; CT scan; Incisor; Indohyus; Raptorial dentition

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.240

  Abstract

    The present 3D dataset contains 3D models of new material from the middle Eocene of the Upper Subathu Formation in the Kalakot area (India), documenting the anterior dentition of the raoellid Indohyus indirae. Raoellidae are closely related to stem cetaceans and bring crucial information to understand the earliest phase of land to water transition in Cetacea.

3D models related to the publication: “Trophic differentiation between the endemic Cypriot mouse and the house mouse: a study coupling stable isotopes and morphometrics”
 
Sabrina Renaud Logo, Eleftherios . Hadjisterkotis Logo, George P. Mitsainas Logo and Emilie A. Hardouin Logo
Published online: 18/11/2024

Keywords: biomechanics; geometric morphometrics; Mandible morphology; Mus cypriacus; Mus musculus domesticus

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.247

  Abstract

    This contribution contains 3D models of mandibles of Cypriot mice (Mus cypriacus) and house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) from the island of Cyprus. The niche partitioning of the two species was investigated using isotopic ecology, geometric morphometrics and biomechanics. Both species displayed generalist feeding behavior, modulated by fine-tuned adaptation to their feeding habits. The house mouse mandible, with a relatively large masseter area and an optimization for incisor biting, appears as an all-rounder tool for foraging on diverse non-natural items.
    These models are analyzed in the following publication: Renaud et al 2024, “Trophic differentiation between the endemic Cypriot mouse and the house mouse: a study coupling stable isotopes and morphometrics”, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10914-024-09740-5

Published online: 19/07/2023

Keywords: Kimmeridgian; Late Jurassic; Metriorhynchidae; paleoart; Thalattosuchia

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.178

  Abstract

    The democratization of 3D techniques in recent years provides exciting new opportunities for the study of complex fossils. In the present contribution, we provide a virtual reconstruction of a partial, disarticulated metriorhynchid (Metriorhynchidae, Thalattosuchia, Crocodylomorpha) skull from the Late Jurassic of northwestern Switzerland. This virtual reconstruction was used to produce high quality scientific illustrations of the whole skull for descriptive purposes. The reconstructed skull also served for the estimation of the total body length of the specimen and to propose a life reconstruction of the animal in its paleoenvironment. In an effort for transparency, we review the sources that were consulted for the life reconstruction and explain the choices that we had to make.

Digital reconstruction of the skull of Sarmientosaurus musacchioi, a titanosaur (Sauropoda, Dinosauria) from the Upper Cretaceous of Argentina
Gabriel G. Barbosa Logo, Julian C. G. Silva Junior Logo and Felipe C. Montefeltro Logo
Published online: 12/12/2024

Keywords: 3D reconstruction; Blender; Sauropoda; Titanosaur skull

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.248

  Abstract

    The study of titanosaur paleobiology has been severely hampered by the incomplete nature of their fossil record, particularly the scarcity of well-preserved and relatively complete cranial remains. Even the most complete titanosaur skulls are often fractured, incomplete, or deformed, which has resulted in a limited knowledge of the paleobiology related to cranial anatomy, especially functional morphology. In this context, we present the digital restoration of the skull of the Argentinean titanosaur Sarmientosaurus musacchioi, created using the open-source 3D modeling software Blender. The digitally restored model is freely accessible to other researchers, facilitating broader research and comparative studies.

CT scan data for the original holotype of Hamadasuchus rebouli Buffetaut 1994

Published online: 06/02/2024

Keywords: Crocodylomorpha; CT scan; Hamadasuchus; Kem Kem; Morocco

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.222

  Abstract

    The holotype of Hamadasuchus rebouli Buffetaut 1994 from the Kem Kem beds of Morocco (Late Albian – Cenomanian) consists of a left dentary which is limited, fragmentary and reconstructed in some areas. To aid in assessing if the original diagnosis can be considered as valid, the specimen was CT scanned for the first time. This is especially important to resolve the taxonomic status of certain specimens that have been assigned to Hamadasuchus rebouli since then. The reconstructed structures in this contribution are in agreement with the original description, notably in terms of alveolar count; thus the original diagnosis of this taxon remains valid and some specimens are not referable to H. rebouli anymore.

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.229

  Abstract

    Speothos pacivorus is an extinct South American canid (Canidae: Cerdocyonina) from the Pleistocene of Lagoa Santa Karst, Central Brazil. This taxon is one of the hypercarnivore canids that vanished from the continent at the end of Pleistocene. Although all remains of Speothos pacivorus were collected in the 19th century by the Danish naturalist Peter W. Lund, few studies have committed to an in-depth analysis of the taxon and the known specimens. Here, we analyzed all biological remains of S. pacivorus hosted in the Peter Lund/Quaternary Collection at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen, by listing and illustrating all its specimens known to date. We also conducted a reconstruction of the holotype, an almost complete cranium, based on a µCT scan, producing an undeformed and crack-free three-dimensional model. With this data available we aim to foster new research on this elusive species.

    We provide a 3D reconstruction of the skull of Latimeria chalumnae that can be easily accessed and visualized for a better understanding of its cranial anatomy. Different skeletal elements are saved as separate PLY files that can be combined to visualize the entire skull or isolated to virtually dissect the skull. We included some guidelines for a fast and easy visualization of the 3D skull.

Digital restoration of the snout of Khirtharia inflata (Raoellidae,  Artiodactyla) from the middle Eocene of northwest Himalaya
Maëva J. Orliac Logo, Mohd Waqas Logo, Rajendra Rana Logo and Thierry Smith Logo
Published online: 20/06/2024

Keywords: Cetacea; incisor; India; raoellid

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.224

  Abstract

    In this work, we digitally restore the snout of the raoellide Khirtharia inflata from the Kalakot area (Rajouri District, Jammu & Kashmir, India). Raoellids are small, semiaquatic ungulates closely related to cetaceans. The specimen is fairly complete and preserves left and right maxillaries, left premaxillary, and part of the anterior and jugal dentition. The digital restoration of this quite complete but deformed specimen of Khirtharia inflata is a welcome addition to the data available for raoellids and will be used to further the understanding of the origins of cetaceans.
