Digital imaging and reconstuction of Hippopotamus Greutzburgi cranium (artiodactyla: Hippopotamidae) from Katharo plateau (Crete) = Ψηφιακή απεικόνιση και ανάταξη του κρανίου Hippopotamus Greutzburgi (artiodactyla: Hippopotamidae) από το οροπέδιο Καθαρού (Κρήτη).
Περίληψη
Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία, περιγράφουμε νέο κρανιακό υλικό του Hippopotamus creutzburgi από τη θέση «Ανάσκαμα» που βρίσκεται στο οροπέδιο Καθαρού και για πρώτη φορά ανατάσσουμε ψηφιακά το κρανίο αυτού του είδους. Πέντε δείγματα ψηφιοποιήθηκαν με φωτογραμμετρία. Το τελικό μοντέλο ανατάχθηκε και συντέθηκε με το ανοικτό και δωρεάν λογισμικό, Blender. Χρησιμοποιήθηκαν δύο μερικώς διατηρημένα κρανία και μία σχεδόν πλήρης κάτω γνάθος. Ελέγξαμε την εγκυρότητα του αναταγμένου κρανίου συγκρίνοντας την αναλογία του ύψους του προς το μήκος της οδοντικής σειράς μετά τον κυνόδοντα με άλλα Hippopotaminae. Η αναλογία που προέκυψε συμπίπτει με τις αναλογίες των ιπποπόταμων της Μαδαγασκάρης. Ο Hippopotamus creutzburgi έχει κοινά χαρακτηριστικά με τον Hippopotamus antiquus, αλλά και διαφορετικά όπως παχύτερο υπερόφρυο τόξο και μικρότερο ρύγχος.
