A 3D reconstruction of the skull of the West Indian Ocean coelacanth Latimeria chalumnae
 
Luigi Manuelli, Raphael Covain Logo and Lionel Cavin Logo
Published online: 14/09/2023

Keywords: coelacanth; Computed Tomography; Cranial osteology; Latimeria

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.211

  Abstract

    We provide a 3D reconstruction of the skull of Latimeria chalumnae that can be easily accessed and visualized for a better understanding of its cranial anatomy. Different skeletal elements are saved as separate PLY files that can be combined to visualize the entire skull or isolated to virtually dissect the skull. We included some guidelines for a fast and easy visualization of the 3D skull.

  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).

3D models related to the publication: Anatomical correlates and nomenclature of the chiropteran endocranial cast
Jacob Maugoust Logo and Maëva J. Orliac Logo
Published online: 06/04/2023

Keywords: angiology; bats; brain; endocast; neuroanatomy

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.193

  Abstract

    The present 3D Dataset contains the 3D models of extant Chiropteran endocranial casts, documenting 16 of the 19 extant bat families. They are used by Maugoust & Orliac (2023) to assess the correspondences between the brain and brain-surrounding tissues (i.e., neural tissues, blood vessels, meninges) and their imprint on the braincase, allowing for eventually proposing a Chiroptera-scale nomenclature of the endocast.

3D models related to the publication “3D topography as an indicator of change in food processing ability in the conodont genus Palmatolepis elements”
Cédric Goudemez Logo, Alexandre Assemat Logo, Ghislain Thiery Logo and Catherine Girard
Published online: 28/01/2026

Keywords: Famennian; food processing; Late Frasnian; sharpness

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.282

  Abstract

    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.

CT scan data for the original holotype of Hamadasuchus rebouli Buffetaut 1994

Published online: 06/02/2024

Keywords: Crocodylomorpha; CT-scan; Hamadasuchus; Kem Kem; Morocco

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.222

  Abstract

    The holotype of Hamadasuchus rebouli Buffetaut 1994 from the Kem Kem beds of Morocco (Late Albian – Cenomanian) consists of a left dentary which is limited, fragmentary and reconstructed in some areas. To aid in assessing if the original diagnosis can be considered as valid, the specimen was CT scanned for the first time. This is especially important to resolve the taxonomic status of certain specimens that have been assigned to Hamadasuchus rebouli since then. The reconstructed structures in this contribution are in agreement with the original description, notably in terms of alveolar count; thus the original diagnosis of this taxon remains valid and some specimens are not referable to H. rebouli anymore.
