The present 3D Dataset contains the 3D models of two endocarps from the Oligocene of Baraval Quercy locality. These endocarps document new fossil genera within the Anacardiaceae family and illustrate the morphological diversity of this family during the Palaeogene. The CT-scan data were processed with ImageJ and Mimics Innovation Suite version 1.13 to reconstruct the specimens. Here we provide .stl files easy to read with the software Meshlab.

The present dataset contains 3D models used for illustration purposes in Schultz, J. A., Weaver, L. N., Jäger, K. R. K. & Grossnickle, D. M., 2026. Reexamining the evolutionary history of the mammalian medial pterygoid muscle. Evolution. The dataset includes 3D models based on micro-computed tomography (µCT) data of the postdentary area of the morganucodontan Morganucodon, the docodontan Docodon, the eutriconodontan Priacodon and the cladotherian Dryolestes. In addition, the dataset includes manually reconstructed schematic 3D models of the middle ear bones for the morganucodontan Morganucodon, the docodontan Docodon, the eutriconodontan Priacodon and schematic middle ear bones and a virtually rendered juvenile lower jaw of a juvenile monotreme Ornithorhynchus (based on illustrations of Zeller [1989]).

The present 3D Dataset contains the 3D models of the holotype and only specimen of Kalakocetus aurorae, a new cetacean retrieved from the Kalakot area in northwestern India. This specimen consists in a left hemimandible preserving the root of i3, p2, p4, m1 and m3 in situ. Its primitive morphology, with a tricuspid m3 morphologically intermediate between Raoellidae and Pakicetidae, makes it the first offshoot of Cetacea and provides crucial new elements to understand the setting up of the peculiar dental morphology of early cetaceans.

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.

Speothos pacivorus is an extinct South American canid (Canidae: Cerdocyonina) from the Pleistocene of Lagoa Santa Karst, Central Brazil. This taxon is one of the hypercarnivore canids that vanished from the continent at the end of Pleistocene. Although all remains of Speothos pacivorus were collected in the 19th century by the Danish naturalist Peter W. Lund, few studies have committed to an in-depth analysis of the taxon and the known specimens. Here, we analyzed all biological remains of S. pacivorus hosted in the Peter Lund/Quaternary Collection at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen, by listing and illustrating all its specimens known to date. We also conducted a reconstruction of the holotype, an almost complete cranium, based on a µCT scan, producing an undeformed and crack-free three-dimensional model. With this data available we aim to foster new research on this elusive species.

Veterinary education often relies on cadaveric specimens, but there is increasing demand for alternatives due to limited resources and ethical considerations. To address this, we developed a 3D printed ‘explodable’ model of a dog cranium with detachable, magnetized cranial components      for teaching anatomy to students. This model was generated from a computed tomographic scan of a juvenile dog cranium for which cranial sutures were still partially open and segmented such that major cranial bones were isolated. All bones are printed at actual size and retain openings for cranial nerves and major vessels. This interactive model enhances anatomical education by supplying a hands-on tool that can be used either in the classroom setting or for independent learning and can be incorporated at the high school, college, or veterinary school level. It is currently being integrated into the first-year anatomy foundation course at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. The model can be printed using any hobbyist or specialist 3D printer and we outline assembly instructions on how to attach magnets at prefabricated attachment points.      Using both digital and 3D printed resources, we hope to help to address current shortages of anatomical resources and      also      inspire future generations of practicing veterinarians by making anatomy more accessible and engaging.

The present 3D dataset contains 15 specimens selected from the 69 3D models analyzed in the paper “3D topography as an indicator of change in food processing ability in the conodont genus Palmatolepis elements”. 3D topographic analysis of Palmatolepis P1 conodont elements from the Late Devonian period revealed an increase in blade sharpness together with a reduction in platform size. This indicates morphofunctional adaptation to more efficient prey processing.

M3#902 The material consists of a 3D reconstruction of the counterpart of a 30 cm2 patch of skin impression associated with the anterior dorsal ribs/pectoral region of the specimen of Allosaurus jimmadseni UMNH VP C481. The skin shows a semi-uniform basement of 1-2 mm diameter pebbles with a smaller number of slightly larger (up to 3 mm) ovoid scales. The irregular shape, distribution, and overall small size of these larger scales suggest that they are not classifiable as feature scales but rather as variations in the basement scales.

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.

Our knowledge of the external brain morphology of the late Eocene artiodactyl ungulate Mixtotherium, relies on a plaster model realized on a specimen from the Victor Brun Museum in Montauban (France) and described by Dechaseaux (1973). Here, based on micro CT-scan data, we virtually reconstruct the 3D cast of the empty cavity of the partial cranium MA PHQ 716 from the Victor Brun Museum and compare it to the plaster model illustrated and described by Dechaseaux (1973). Indeed, the specimen from which the original plaster endocast originates was not identified by Dechaseaux by a specimen number. We confirm here that the studied specimen was indeed the one described and illustrated by Dechaseaux (1973). We also reconstruct a second, more detailed, model providing additional morphological and quantitative observations made available by micro CT scan investigation such as precisions on the neopallium folding and endocranial volumes.
