Histological stacks for: Vestigial structures and variation in the evolution of the marsupial mammal dental development: A study of the Woolly Opossum Caluromys philander

The pattern of dental replacement in marsupial mammals has received much
attention for its derived nature and potential relationship to the life
history of the group. However, few species have been studied thoroughly
and little is known about the embryonic structures and their use in
addressing issues of homology and dental evolution in general. We studied
a developmental series of ten individuals of pouch young Caluromys
philander to thoroughly document dental development with histological
sections and 3D models of dental series. This dataset contains the raw
TIFF stacks for the above histological sections. These may be used for
direct histological analysis, or to generate 3D-reconstructions using
software such as Fiji and TrakEM2.
