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 scale bar is inaccurate in Sotnikova and Foronova unfortunately. The bottom mandible is ID'd LAC2901-3 and measures 310 mm. By the scale bar, it inaccurately measures 360 mm. One can measure that bar and check this themselves. Always remember to the check the scale bar for accuracy. The last time I remember seeing an accurate scale bar was in works by Per Christiansen.
For a more accurate comparison, real measurements need to be used. I can't release all measurements yet to protect against plagiarism (one can still use the ruler for a rough measurement) but here is a better standard for scale. The AP diameter of the fragmented mandible canine is 35 mm. LAC2901-3 has a inferior canine AP diameter of 30.4 mm. That will give you a more accurate scale.
