There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

The mandible sits closer to the camera than the extreme ends of the skulls. Thus, the mandible falsely appears to take more of the skull length in the photo, an illusion of sorts. Thus, when extrapolating skull length from the mandible length off a photo, the skull length will always be underestimated.
You are right. I realized that I made some mistakes. I think the CBL335mm is the actual measured data because the distance between the mandible and the skull is not equal, which can explain the error when measuring with a scale.
