Fig. 15 in A Partial Skeleton of Pseudaelurus (Carnivora: Felidae) from the Nambé Member of the Tesuque Formation, Española Basin, New Mexico

Fig. 15. Postcranial log­ratio diagram comparing front and rear limb measurements of Proailurus and Pseudaelurus. The standard specimen on the y axis is P. lemanensis, the earliest recognized member of Felidae. Contrasted to this taxon is F:AM 62128, the early Miocene Nambé skeleton described in this paper. The length of the fragmented femur of F:AM 62128 was estimated. The data curve of the Nambé skeleton is reasonably vertical (similar in proportion to Proailurus). For the characters featured, the North American Pseudaelurus appears to be a larger version of the earlier P. lemanensis. A data point of 0.1 to the right of the y axis on this log difference scale represents an increase in size of approximately 25%.
