Abstract: We provide three-dimensional digital reconstructions, generated from computed tomographic (CT) data, of the vocal organs of the Antarctic Cretaceous bird Vegavis iaai (MACN-PV 19.748) and the North American Paleogene bird Presbyornis sp. (USNM PAL 617185). These were published as online Supplementary Information for the following paper: Clarke, J.A., Chatterjee, S., Li, Z., Riede, T., Agnolin, F., Goller, F., Isasi, M.P., Martinioni, D.R., Mussel, F.J. and Novas, F.E., 2016.
