Methodological approach for capturing the dimensions of the atlas. Linear (a) and surface (b) measurements assessed in the atlas of GSN BA 104’91, KNM-BG 35250BE and of comparative specimens in superior view. AATh: anterior arch thickness; MDvD: maximum dorsoventral transverse diameter; MTrD: maximum transverse diameter; M10: canal dorsoventral maximum diameter; M11: canal transverse maximum diameter; PaTh: posterior arch thickness; STrD: superior transverse diameter; 1 L: diameter in major axis of the superior left articular facet; 2 L: diameter at a right angle to 1 L of the superior left articular facet; 1R: diameter in major axis of the superior right articular facet; 2R: diameter at a right angle to 1R of the superior right articular facet; 1 L/2L and 1R/2R: ratio between the diameter in the major axis and the orthogonal diameter.
