3D virtual models of ontogenetic series of H. blanfordi, representing the samples from which raw measurements were taken from postcranial elements. Specimens represent different developmental stages: Stage 1 (a), stage 3 (b), stage 8 (c), and stage 10 (d). Stage 1 is characterised by ossification of the humerus, clavicle and ribs; stage 3 by ossification of ilium and tibia; stage 8 by ossification of manual phalanges, and stage 10 by ossification of carpals
