Yukonensis Fossil Model Dimensions Compared to Literature Values

A 5.5 KB Excel file compares reported dimensions of the Y. yukonensis fossil with those of a reconstructed 3D model. The dataset, created by Zaid A. Qureshi and last updated in May 2026, includes measurements for pores, tumuli, and spine distances, with variations noted due to modeling constraints. Values marked with an asterisk correspond specifically to a wide-angled model version.

Use Cases

• Validate the accuracy of a 3D fossil reconstruction based on published morphological measurements.
• Assess the impact of modeling and meshing constraints on specific anatomical features like pores and tumuli.
• Compare different model versions (e.g., wide-angled) against a standard set of literature-derived dimensions.

Strengths

• File size is precisely 5.5 KB, indicating a focused, manageable dataset.
• Explicitly notes the source of dimensional variations (modeling and meshing constraints).
• Distinguishes data specific to a wide-angled model version with an asterisk notation.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column names are unknown, limiting assessment of data scope and structure.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
