Regarding the 3-D cranial data: Did you want the skull only or would a living person do? I have hundreds of 3-D scans of the head, each with 42 landmarks, and I could give you one for free. These are living humans and full heads (including the face and some of the neck too). They are wearing a skull cap to cover and compress the hair. The landmarks were pre-marked with stickers before scanning, but even so most of them are on the face and ears. Only nuchale is on the back of the head. If one of these will do what format do you need. The landmark files are in either excel or txt, but the scans themselves are in the native scanner format. We can translate to a variety of formats such as iges, stl, or vrml. There used to be one file on our website that you could download, but we are moving to a new server and yesterday we checked and the connection to the files has been lost. I don't know if we have fixed that yet.

But the data I need must be 3D including x, y and z coordinates of the landmarks. The sample size is not important but the number of landmarks would better not less than 10. I will use it for a demo study for my numerical taxonomy students only. It is not needed for scientific reasons but for educational purpose. I will be very happy if any morphometter would send me them. Best wishes to everybody. Dr. A.
