"Insectivore" mammal mandibles

Photographs of lateral views of "insectivore" mammal mandibles (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 mandibles 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, ma (mandible) and the date that I took the photograph. Most pictures are of the right lateral side, any pictures of the left side include "left" in their file name.

Some specimens were photographed three times, re-positioning the mandible 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 mandible.

These photos form part of my research on morphological diversity in tenrecs compared to other mammal groups.
