Josephoartigasia monesi cranial reconstruction

3D reconstruction of the cranium of Josephoartigasia monesi, made using Avizo 8.0 from holotype specimen MNHN 921. Damaged parts of cranial morphology, in particular the left zygomatic arch, were reconstructed by copying and reflecting the relevant structure from the opposite side of the skull. Missing molar teeth (right P4 and M1, and left M2) were reconstructed in the same way. The missing right incisor root was reconstructed by filling in the empty alveolus. The erupted portions of both incisors were reconstructed by eye with reference to the plastic reconstruction made for a previous study of this specimen .
