Bovidae Lower Teeth Measurements from Miocene to Pleistocene

Measurements of lower teeth (p3, p4, m3) for Bovidae species. The data covers specimens from Eurasia and Africa across the Miocene to Pleistocene epochs. It was authored by Leonardo Sorbelli and published on figshare.

Use Cases

• Analyze dental size trends over geological epochs based on tooth measurements
• Compare morphological variation between Bovidae species based on tooth dimensions
• Model evolutionary changes in Bovidae dentition based on temporal and geographic coverage

Strengths

• Data spans a broad temporal range from the Miocene to Pleistocene
• Geographic coverage includes Eurasia and Africa
• File size is 25.7 KB, indicating a compact and focused dataset

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
