Welcome

MorphoMuseuM, also referred to as M3, is a peer reviewed, online data journal that publishes 3D models of vertebrates, including models of type specimens, anatomy atlases, reconstruction of deformed or damaged specimens, and 3D datasets (see https://doi.org/10.1017/scs.2017.14 for details).
M3 comes along with a free software, MorphoDig, which contains a set of tools for editing, positioning, deforming, labelling, measuring and rendering sets of 3D surfaces.

  Abstract

    This contribution contains the 3D models described and figured in the following publication:Skull and Inner Ear Morphometrics in Sheep and Goats: Species and Breed Differentiation with Bioarchaeological Applications (Hemelsdael et al. submitted). The models include the external surface of a complete skull and inner ear of both a sheep (Ovis aries) and a goat (Capra hircus), generated from micro-CT scans. In the associated paper, we used 3D geometric morphometric data to assess inter and intra (i.e. between breeds) discrimination based on complete skulls, skull fragments and the semi-circular canals of the inner ear.

3D surface model related to the publication: An Unusual new species of Burmesescorpiops Lourenco 2016 from Cretaceous Burmese amber (Scorpiones: Palaeoeuscorpiidae: Archaeoscorpiopinae)
Zaw Dan Logo, Ko Zawgyi and Wilson Lourenço Logo
Published online: 03/11/2025

Keywords: Amber; Burmite; Cretaceous; Paleoarachnology; Scorpion

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.285

  Abstract

    In this contribution a third new species of the rare genus Burmesescorpiops Lourenço, 2016 is described. The discovery of this new element belonging to the family Palaeoeuscorpiidae Lourenço, 2003 and to the subfamily Archaeoscorpiopinae Lourenço, 2015 brings further elements to support the validity of the genus Burmesescorpiops. This generic group remains however, poorly speciose. This is the latest discovery of Burmesescorpiops wunpawng, the name is derived from the Kachin Hilltribe peoples who are indigenous to the area. The data provided here is a 3D surface.

Keywords: Azibiidae and Djebelemuridae; Chambi; Gour Lazib; Northern Africa; Paleogene

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.270

  Abstract

    This contribution contains the three-dimensional digital models of the dental fossil material of strepsirrhine primates (Azibiidae and ?Djebelemuridae) from the late early to early middle Eocene of the Gour Lazib Complex in western Algeria and of Djebel Chambi in central-western Tunisia. These fossils were described, figured and discussed in the following publication: Marivaux et al. (2025), New insights into the diversity of strepsirrhine primates from the late early – early middle Eocene of North Africa (Algeria and Tunisia).
