Malleolus Measurements of Parabos tigneresi from Camp dels Ninots

Measurements in millimeters of the malleolus bone from the extinct bovid species Parabos tigneresi, excavated from the Camp dels Ninots paleontological site. The dataset includes estimated measurements, which are indicated in italics within the file. It is a 10.6 KB XLSX file authored by Leonardo Sorbelli and last updated on June 3, 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative anatomical analysis based on malleolus bone measurements.
• Species identification and classification based on osteometric data.
• Reconstructing body size and proportions of Parabos tigneresi.
• Assessing taphonomic or measurement uncertainty by comparing estimated and direct measurements.

Strengths

• Measurements are explicitly provided in millimeters, a standard unit for osteology.
• The dataset distinguishes between direct and estimated measurements, as noted in the description.
• It is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• The row count and specific column names are unknown, limiting assessment of dataset scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description is minimal, offering no context on the excavation or measurement methodology.
