Abstract
The present dataset contains 3D models used for illustration purposes in Schultz, J. A., Weaver, L. N., Jäger, K. R. K. & Grossnickle, D. M., 2026. Reexamining the evolutionary history of the mammalian medial pterygoid muscle. Evolution. The dataset includes 3D models based on micro-computed tomography (µCT) data of the postdentary area of the morganucodontan Morganucodon , the docodontan Docodon , the eutriconodontan Priacodon and the cladotherian Dryolestes . In addition, the dataset includes manually reconstructed schematic 3D models of the middle ear bones for the morganucodontan Morganucodon , the docodontan Docodon , the eutriconodontan Priacodon and schematic middle ear bones and a virtually rendered juvenile lower jaw of a juvenile monotreme Ornithorhynchus (based on illustrations of Zeller [1989]).
