"Insectivore" mammal skulls, dorsal view

Photographs of dorsal views of "insectivore" mammal skulls (Afrosoricida, Erinaceomorpha, Soricomorpha and Notoryctemorphia) from the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and the Smithsonian Institute (SI). I can provide a list of the species identities corresponding to each specimen ID number. Alternatively, species may be identified by searching the online museum databases for the specimen ID number. I photographed the skulls on a flat plane relative to the camera and the scale bar has 1mm as the smallest demarcation. Images are grey scale TIF files labelled with the museum specimen ID number, the specimen identity (<strong>cr</strong>anial) and view (<strong>d</strong>orsa<strong>l</strong>) along with the date that I took the photograph. Some specimens were photographed three times, re-positioning the skull in between each picture. They are labelled with the same museum specimen number and then _1A, _2A and _3A to indicate that they are replicate pictures of the same skull. These photos form part of my research on morphological diversity in tenrecs compared to other mammal groups

本数据集收录来自美国自然历史博物馆（American Museum of Natural History，AMNH）与史密森学会（Smithsonian Institute，SI）的"食虫类"哺乳动物颅骨背视图照片，涵盖类群包括非洲猬目（Afrosoricida）、猬形目（Erinaceomorpha）、鼩形目（Soricomorpha）以及袋鼹目（Notoryctemorphia）。使用者可获取对应各标本编号的物种信息清单；亦可通过在线博物馆数据库检索标本编号以确认物种身份。本次拍摄时，颅骨与相机成像平面保持平行，所用比例尺的最小分度为1毫米。图像均为灰度TIF文件，文件名包含博物馆标本编号、标本类型（颅骨（cranial））、拍摄视角（背侧（dorsal））以及拍摄日期。部分标本进行了三次拍摄，每次拍摄前均重新调整颅骨的摆放姿态；此类重复图像以同一标本编号后附加_1A、_2A、_3A进行标注，以表明为同一颅骨的重复拍摄样本。本批照片为本人开展的马岛猬类（tenrecs）与其他哺乳动物类群形态多样性对比研究的组成部分。
