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.

Ah, I see it, thanks. I didn't think of that belonging to AMNH18624 as there's seems to be other fragmentary mandibles. Anyhow, I roughly measured the mandible proportion in the image and I got ~270 mm GSL using 215 cm, in line with the upper p4 measure essentially. I don't know why no author (three parties published on this one skull, Hooijer, Matthew and Granger, and Haltenorth) published data on this skull but never once gave a length measurement.
