Long bone articular dimensions for two simulated fossil hominoid samples with missing data

fauxil.Rd

Postcranial metric data collected for two "fauxil" species. Fauxil sp. 1 individuals are extant gorillas from the apelimbart dataset with some data removed, and Fauxil sp. 2 individuals are modern humans from the apelimbart dataset with some data removed. All data are from Gordon (2025a).

Usage

fauxil

Format

A data frame with 35 rows and 13 variables:

Species

factor Species name, with two possible levels (in decreasing order of postcranial dimorphism: "Fauxil sp. 1" and "Fauxil sp. 2")

Museum

factor Collection housing each specimen

Collection.ID

character Unique specimen identifier within each collection

FHSI

numeric Femoral head superoinferior diameter: the maximum superoinferior diameter of the femoral head.

TPML

numeric Tibial plateau mediolateral width: the maximum mediolateral width of the articular surface of the tibial plateau.

TPMAP

numeric Tibial plateau medial condyle anteroposterior length: the maximum anteroposterior length of the articular surface of the medial condyle of the tibial plateau.

TPLAP

numeric Tibial plateau lateral condyle anteroposterior length: the maximum anteroposterior length of the articular surface of the lateral condyle of the tibial plateau.

HHMaj

numeric Humeral head major axis diameter: treating the articular surface of the humeral head as a partial oblate spheroid, this is the length of the major axis passing through the oblate spheroid.

HHMin

numeric Humeral head minor axis diameter: the maximum width of the articular surface of the humeral head perpendicular to the major axis.

RHMaj

numeric Radial head major axis diameter: treating the radial head in proximal view as an ellipse, this is the length of the major axis passing through the ellipse.

RHMin

numeric Radial head minor axis diameter: the maximum width of the radial head perpendicular to the major axis.

RDAP

numeric Distal radius anteroposterior width: the distance between the anterior and posterior extents of the boundary between the lunate and scaphoid facets of the distal articular surface of the radius.

RDML

numeric Distal radius mediolateral breadth: the maximum width of the distal articular surface of the radius when the medial point of this dimension is constrained to the midpoint of the curve of the articulation with the distal ulna.
