Three-Dimensional Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Fossil Canid Mandibles and Skulls

Much of the fossil record for dogs consists of mandibles. However, can fossil canid mandibles be reliably identified as dogs or wolves? 3D geometric morphometric analysis correctly classifies 99.5% of the modern dog and wolf mandibles.
