Bovidae Upper Tooth Measurements from the Miocene to Pleistocene of Eurasia and Africa

Eurasian and African fossil records provide measurements in millimeters for the P4, M1, and M3 upper teeth of various Bovidae species. The dataset is a 22.5 KB XLSX file authored by Leonardo Sorbelli and last updated on June 3, 2026. It is licensed under CC-BY-4.0 and shared via figshare.

Use Cases

• Analyze dental size evolution in Bovidae based on P4, M1, and M3 tooth measurements.
• Model morphological variation and species differentiation based on dental metric data.
• Correlate dental trait changes with climatic shifts during the Miocene to Pleistocene epochs.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File size is 22.5 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.
• Temporal coverage spans the Miocene to Pleistocene epochs.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
