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.

This contribution contains three-dimensional models of the holotypes of Europeradectes marivauxi Gernelle, 2026, and E. williamsoni Gernelle, 2026, as well as other fossil material referred to these species from their type locality, Prémontré (Paris Basin; late early Eocene, 50.4-50.3 Ma). These specimens, among the youngest known for Europeradectes Gernelle, 2026, were analyzed and discussed in: Gernelle et al. (2026), A comprehensive evolutionary history of Peradectidae (Mammalia: Metatheria) revealed by a new dental morphology-based phylogenetic framework, with insights from late early Eocene French specimens.

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.

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.
