3D models related to the publication: A 50-million-year-old, three-dimensionally preserved bat skull supports an early origin for modern echolocation

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The present 3D Dataset contains 3D models of the cranium surface and of the bony labyrinth endocast of the stem bat Vielasia sigei. They are used by (Hand et al., 2023) to explore the phylogenetic position of this species, to infer its laryngeal echolocating capabilities, and to eventually discuss chiropteran evolution before the crown clade diversification.
