An advanced shape-fitting algorithm applied to quadrupedal mammals: improving volumetric mass estimates
Body mass is a fundamental physical property of an individual and has enormous bearing upon ecology and physiology. Generating reliable estimates for body mass is therefore a necessary step in many palaeontological studies. Whilst early reconstructions of mass in extinct species relied upon isolated...
