Description
Summary:Extended Data Fig. 7 | Vertebral microanatomy illustrated with binarized sections (black = bone) obtained with physical core drills (a) or µCT data(b–f). a, Perucetus colossus (MUSM 3248, holotype, vertebra L-e for the centrum and transverse process and L-c for the neural spine).The global compactness (Cg) was measured in ten areas (orange outlines) to assess overall centrum compactness (see Supplementary Methods).b, common minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata, LR M 523). c, Amazon river dolphin (Inia geoffrensis, ZMB_ Mam_41500).d, common dolphin (Delphinus sp. ZMB_Mam_697.59).e, dugong (Dugong dugon, ZMB_Mam_69340).f, manatee (Trichechus manatus, ZMB_ Mam_17377).(1) Centrum (anteroposterior mid-length, from its dorsal edge to its centre), external towards top; (2) Neural spine (dorsoventral mid-height), external towards right); (3) Transverse process (mediolateral mid-width), external towards top. Width of the virtual cross-sections were defined as representing 7.2% of the centrum dorsoventral height; ... : Published as part of Bianucci, Giovanni, Lambert, Olivier, Urbina, Mario, Merella, Marco, Collareta, Alberto, Bennion, Rebecca, Salas-Gismondi, Rodolfo, Benites-Palomino, Aldo, Post, Klaas, Muizon, Christian de, Bosio, Giulia, Celma, Claudio Di, Malinverno, Elisa, Pierantoni, Pietro Paolo, Villa1, Igor Maria & Amson1, Eli, 2023, A heavyweight early whale pushes the boundaries of vertebrate morphology, pp. 824-829 in Nature 620 on page 16, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-06381-1, http://zenodo.org/record/8224796 ...
