Retrodeformation of fossil specimens based on 3D bilateral semi-landmarks: Implementation in the R package "Morpho".
Many fossil specimens exhibit deformations caused by taphonomic processes. Due to these deformations, even important specimens have to be excluded from morphometric analyses, impoverishing an already poor paleontological record. Techniques to retrodeform and virtually restore damaged (i.e. deformed)...
