Fig. 3From: Complex dental wear analysis reveals dietary shift in Triassic placodonts (Sauropsida, Sauropterygia)a Results of the 2D microwear analysis and (b) 3D microwear analysis (DMTA). In the case of the latter the PCA diagram based on the following variables: Asfc (complexity), epLsar (anisotropy), HAsfc (heterogeneity of area-scale fractal complexity), Smc (scale of maximum complexity). c Biplot showing anisotropy (epLsar) and complexity (Asfc). d results of the 2D microwear analysis based on placodonts and extant marine mammalsBack to article page
