The present 3D Dataset contains the 3D models of the holotype and only specimen of Kalakocetus aurorae, a new cetacean retrieved from the Kalakot area in northwestern India. This specimen consists in a left hemimandible preserving the root of i3, p2, p4, m1 and m3 in situ. Its primitive morphology, with a tricuspid m3 morphologically intermediate between Raoellidae and Pakicetidae, makes it the first offshoot of Cetacea and provides crucial new elements to understand the setting up of the peculiar dental morphology of early cetaceans.

The present 3D dataset contains the 3D models of two fossil seeds of Vitaceae from the Quercy fossiliferous area, southwestern France. One seed comes from the Eocene locality of Fontoffre 2, and the other from the Oligocene locality of Baraval. These seeds document new fossil species within the Vitaceae family and illustrate the morphological diversity of this family during the Palaeogene. The CT scan data were processed with ImageJ and Mimics Innovation Suite version 1.13 to reconstruct the specimens. Here we provide .stl files that can be easily opened with the software MeshLab.

Veterinary education often relies on cadaveric specimens, but there is increasing demand for alternatives due to limited resources and ethical considerations. To address this, we developed a 3D printed ‘explodable’ model of a dog cranium with detachable, magnetized cranial components      for teaching anatomy to students. This model was generated from a computed tomographic scan of a juvenile dog cranium for which cranial sutures were still partially open and segmented such that major cranial bones were isolated. All bones are printed at actual size and retain openings for cranial nerves and major vessels. This interactive model enhances anatomical education by supplying a hands-on tool that can be used either in the classroom setting or for independent learning and can be incorporated at the high school, college, or veterinary school level. It is currently being integrated into the first-year anatomy foundation course at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. The model can be printed using any hobbyist or specialist 3D printer and we outline assembly instructions on how to attach magnets at prefabricated attachment points.      Using both digital and 3D printed resources, we hope to help to address current shortages of anatomical resources and      also      inspire future generations of practicing veterinarians by making anatomy more accessible and engaging.

In this contribution a third new species of the rare genus Burmesescorpiops Lourenço, 2016 is described. The discovery of this new element belonging to the family Palaeoeuscorpiidae Lourenço, 2003 and to the subfamily Archaeoscorpiopinae Lourenço, 2015 brings further elements to support the validity of the genus Burmesescorpiops. This generic group remains however, poorly speciose. This is the latest discovery of Burmesescorpiops wunpawng, the name is derived from the Kachin Hilltribe peoples who are indigenous to the area. The data provided here is a 3D surface.
