My first #FossilFriday! Back for a day at @Le_Museum in Paris to 3D scan patellas of the chalicothere Anisodon from the Miocene site of Sansan. Upcoming study on the shape variation of patella in perissodactyls within the #Gravibone project with @HoussayeCnrs 🦏🐘🦕🦖
We have a new #GRAVIBONE paper out today in CR #palevol! How to retrodeform asymmetrical fossils (such as limb bones) using 3D geometric morphometrics and thin plate splines (TPS), accounting for intraspecific morphological variation. https://t.co/w8AhcSbobe
Today at #GRAVIBONE Cyril Etienne starts his PhD co-supervised with M. Fagan about the biomechanical adaptations to support high body weight, with an investigation in limb long bones of Rhinocerotoidea. Very pleased to have him at the lab!
