Dear Paula,
this is probably one of the most recent reviews
on landmarks, semilandmarks and missing points in geometric morphometrics:
Semilandmarks: a method for quantifying curves
and surfaces
<http://www.mendeley.com/import/?url=http://www.italian-journal-of-mammalogy.it/article/view/6292>

Philipp Gunz, Philipp Mitteroecker
Abstract
Quantitative shape analysis using geometric
morphometrics is based on the statistical
analysis of landmark coordinates. Many
structures, however, cannot be quantified using
traditional landmarks. Semilandmarks make it
possible to quantify two or three-dimensional
homologous curves and sur- faces, and analyse
them together with traditional landmarks. Here we
first introduce the concept of sliding
semilandmarks and discuss applications and
limitations of this method. In a second part we
show how the sliding semilandmark algorithm can
be used to estimate missing data in incomplete specimens.
The PDF IS AVAILABLE at:
http://www.italian-journal-of-mammalogy.it/
The paper is a contribution to the Yellow Book
(free Hystrix Special Issue on Virtual Morphology
and Evolutionary Morphometrics). As soon as the
last few papers are available as pdf files, I
will send Morphmet a proper announcement.
Enjoy the reading.
Cheers
Andrea
