Distal Phalanx Measurements of Parabos tigneresi from Camp dels Ninots

Measurements in millimeters of the distal phalanx of the extinct bovid Parabos tigneresi, excavated from the Camp dels Ninots paleontological site. The dataset includes estimated measurements, which are indicated in italics. It was authored by Leonardo Sorbelli and last updated on June 3, 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative osteometric analysis based on distal phalanx measurements
• Reconstructing body size and ecological adaptations of Parabos tigneresi based on bone dimensions
• Assessing morphological variation within a fossil population based on measurement data

Strengths

• Measurements are provided in millimeters, offering a precise quantitative basis for analysis.
• The dataset explicitly distinguishes estimated measurements, flagged with italics, indicating data quality awareness.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for statistical methods.
• The description is minimal, providing no context on the number of specimens or measurement protocol.
