Table 2. Measurements of crania and mandibles referred to Solnhofia spp. Measurements for TM 4023, JM SCHA 70 and ICHLU 005.4.20 were taken from Gaffney (1975), Joyce (2000), and Lapparent de Broin, Lange-Badré & Dutrieux (1996), respectively.
Measurements in parentheses are estimates that were derived indirectly from a 3D model for TM 4023 and photographs for JM SCHA 70. Maximum skull length was measured either at the level of the crista supraoccipitalis or at the level of the maximal posterior extension of the squamosals, depending on the preservation of each specimen.
