Measurements, in mm, of the long bones of seven baboon skeletons from Gabbanat el-Qurud.

Indicated are the MHNL registration numbers, the corresponding numbers of Lortet and Gaillard [19], the species name and the sex. Measuring distances and their abbreviations are as in von den Driesch [36].The skeletons MHNL 51000172, MHNL 51000173 and MHNL 51000325 each have measurements that are coherent for one individual. As skeleton MHNL 51000328B is from a rachitic individual, measurements of the greatest length of humerus and femur are not provided. The three other skeletons are clearly reconstructed from more than one individual, but for completeness, we also give the measurements of these bones. In the case of skeleton MHNL 51000170, the dimensions of the arms show that bones from at least one additional individual were used to compose a more or less complete skeleton. Specimen MHNL 51000171, is partly composed of bones from a pathological specimen whose measurements are indicated in bold. MHNL 90002100, a skeleton thought to belong to a baboon found in a jar, is also composed of skeletal elements from more than one individual, as shown by the differences in left and right values for several bones. The distal epiphysis of the left radius has not yet fused, unlike all other long bones. This means that this skeleton consists of at least three individuals. (PDF)
