Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-025-05373-7, published online 04 June 2025

The original version of this Article contained errors in Figure 5 and 7 and their respective legends, where the specimen depicted a different kind of disease than stated in the main text. The original Figures 5 and Figure 7 and accompanying legend appear below.

Fig. 5.

Fig. 5

UOPB 3633. Fused caudal vertebrae of Metoposaurus krasiejowensis. A – Anterior view, B – Left lateral view, C- Right lateral view, D – Dorsal view, E – Ventral view with magnification of suture framed, F – Posterior view. Aas – Anterior articular surface, Avc – Anterior vertebral centrum, Bl -Border line, Fb -Fused bone, Pp -Parapohyses, Pvc – Posterior vertebral centrum, S – suture, Sb – Spongy bone tissue.

Fig. 7

UOPB 3653. Vertebra fused with hemivertebra of Metoposaurus krasiejowensis. A – Anterior view, B – Left lateral view, C – Right lateral view, D – Dorsal view, E – Ventral view, F – Posterior view. Aas – Anterior articular surface, Avc – Anterior vertebral centrum, Fb – Fused bone, Pp –Parapohyses, Pvc – Posterior vertebral centrum.

Furthermore, the legend of Figure 6 contained an error, where the abbreviation for ‘Pas – Posterior articular surface’ was omitted. As a result,

“UOPB 3634. Vertebra fused with hemivertebra of Metoposaurus krasiejowensis. A – Anterior view, B – Left lateral view, C- Right lateral view, D – Dorsal view, E – Ventral view with magnification of suture framed, F – Posterior view. Aas – Anterior articular surface, Avc – Anterior vertebral centrum, Fb – Fused bone, Pp – parapohyses, Pvc – Posterior vertebral centrum, S – Suture.”

now reads:

“UOPB 3634. Vertebra fused with hemivertebra of Metoposaurus krasiejowensis. A – Anterior view, B – Left lateral view, C – Right lateral view, D – Dorsal view, E – Ventral view with magnification of suture framed, F – Posterior view. Aas – Anterior articular surface, Avc – Anterior vertebral centrum, Fb – Fused bone, Pas – Posterior articular surface, Pp – parapohyses, Pvc – Posterior vertebral centrum, S – Suture.”

The original Article has been corrected.
