Measurements of Ceratopsid Skulls

Listed in DataCite

This spreadsheet contains original cranial measurements of ceratopsid (horned dinosaur) skulls from a variety of museums.

Description

Institutions include MOR (Museum of the Rockies), NHMU (Natural History Museum of Utah), ROM (Royal Ontario Museum), TMP (Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology), and USNM (National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C.). These measurements were taken using digital calipers and measuring tape, to the nearest millimeter, and measurements standards are explained in the file itself.

Most of the data have not been published previously, although some were used to support a numerical analysis presented in Farke (2008). Terminology for sinus structures follows Farke (2010). References Farke, A. A. 2008.
