Regression models of modern species were used to estimate SVL of the fossils from four log-transformed variables: the length of a lumbar vertebra; length of the ilium; body length; and mandible length. Details and equations are given in Methods. All squared correlation coefficients are 0.96, except body length, which is 0.99. SVL estimates in bold are those used in the DFAs. When more than one estimate was available, the value chosen was decided according to the preservation of the fossil. Rows 1–6 provide a range of SVL estimates: specimen A broken, measured SVL an underestimate; specimen C incomplete, measured SVL an underestimate; specimen D incomplete, ilium fragment preserved; specimen G incomplete, measured SVL an underestimate; specimen H broken, measured SVL an underestimate; specimen K, other SVL estimated from range of ecomorph-specific slopes for mandible length; specimen N, other SVL estimated from range of ecomorph-specific slopes for mandible length; specimen O, other SVL estimated from range of ecomorph-specific slopes for mandible length; specimen P, other SVL estimated from range of ecomorph-specific slopes for ulna length (r2 = 0.84); specimen S, other SVL estimated from range of ecomorph-specific slopes for ulna length (r2 = 0.84).
