The dataset includes estimated measurements, indicated in italics, and is provided in an XLSX file. It was authored by Leonardo Sorbelli and last updated on June 3, 2026.

Use Cases

• Conducting morphometric analysis based on humerus bone measurements.
• Estimating missing fossil dimensions based on the included estimated measurements.
• Comparing anatomical features of Parabos tigneresi with related species.
• Reconstructing the size and proportions of extinct bovids from the Camp dels Ninots site.

Strengths

• Measurements are explicitly provided in millimeters, offering a standardized unit.
• The dataset distinguishes between direct and estimated measurements, as noted in the description.
• It is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 11.9 KB, indicating a limited scope of measurements.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for statistical analysis.
