Taxonomic classification of seabird long bones using 3D shape: A method with wider potential in zooarchaeology

Dataset of manually-placed landmark (.pts) files. Fixed landmarks and semilandmarks were placed on 3D digitised (.ply) models and exported in .pts file format from Landmark Editor 3.0 (Institute of Data Analysis and Visualization IDAV, University California Davis, USA) (Wiley et al., 2005). The .pts files can be read into R (R Core Team., 2021) using the Morpho::read.pts function (Schlager, 2017). R Core Team. (2021). R: A language and environment for statistical computing.
