description: Table 5. LAG data, body mass, and growth rate estimates rounded to the nearest kg for Sue (FMNH PR 2081), Petey (BMRP 2006.4.4), and Jane (BMRP 2002.4.4) based on femoral circumferences, including corrected values for Jane based on a split multi-LAG interpretation [49]. Campione et al. [50] estimate Sue’s mass at death (i.e., after LAG #23) as 7377 kg after applying a correction for non-circular femoral cross-section. Hutchinson et al. [104] estimate Jane’s mass at death (i.e., after LAG #9) as 954 kg based on 3D modeling. See Supplemental File for equations used in calculations. Note that LAG #1 and the periosteum do not record a full year of growth. Periosteum is assigned a LAG pseudo-number of +0.5 after the final LAG, indicating that death could have occurred at any point after the last yearly marker was deposited while assigning an age at the midpoint of that final year. Jane required estimation of LAG/periosteum circumferences from LAG spacing and femoral width due to the incomplete cross-section of the femur midshaft. (1) LAG (or periosteum) distance from endosteum is measured at the time of death, (2) femoral width at midshaft (including medullary cavity) is measured at time of death and back estimated using LAG spacing, (3) femoral circumference derived from femoral width at a given year is approximated as a circular cross-section. Data sources: Campione et al. [50]; Cullen et al. [49]; Woodward et al. [46].
