The first Cenozoic mammal fauna from the Chilean Altiplano
Despite its richness, South America's Cenozoic mammal record is strongly biased
geographically towards a small portion of the continent, mainly Patagonia. The rapidly …

When teeth and bones disagree: body mass estimation of a giant extinct rodent
V Millien, H Bovy - Journal of Mammalogy, 2010 - academic.oup.com
Body size is correlated with virtually every morphological, physiological, and life-history trait
in mammal species. As a consequence, estimates of body size of fossil species are often …

Mass prediction in theropod dinosaurs
P Christiansen, RA Fariña - Historical biology, 2004 - Taylor & Francis
Body size is a crucial life history parameter for an organism. Therefore, mass estimation for
fossil species is important for many kinds of analyses. Several attempts have been made to …
