Kiana Cliff: a new fossil vertebrate site of probable last interglacial age from Eyre Peninsula, South Australia The distributions of modern vertebrate species and their molecular phylogenetic relationships across southern mainland Australia point to a long and complex history of dispersal and vicariance shap...

New drop! Full open access article: Kiana Cliff: a new fossil vertebrate site of probable last interglacial age from Eyre Peninsula, South Australia www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We CT scanned thousands of vertebrates from US natural history collections and made them freely available. Countless people have used the data for research (>200 pubs) and to learn anatomy/morphology.
