Figure 5. Theropod skull lengths versus von Mises stresses when size corrected.

Figure 5

Skull lengths plotted against calculated mesh-weighted mean cranial von Mises stress (A), mean mandibular von Mises stress (B), mean cranial maximum principal strain (C), and mean mandibular maximum principal strain for each theropod dinosaur cranium when size corrected (D). Herrerasaurus is not included in (B), (C), and (D) due to its high values. Skull lengths in cm. Theropod silhouettes from PhyloPic by Scott Hartman.
