Fig. 7 in The sauropodomorph biostratigraphy of the Elliot Formation of southern Africa: Tracking the evolution of Sauropodomorpha across the Triassic-Jurassic boundary

Fig. 7. Histograms indicating the level of stratigraphic fit of the 48 input trees (A, B) versus the randomly generated topologies (C, D). Only the results for the Gap Excess Ratio (C) and the modified Manhattan Stratigraphic Measure (D) are shown here. The vertical dashed line represents the critical value at which 95% of trees fail the randomization test. Thus, all 48 MPTs trees show a significantly better fit to stratigraphy than expected at random.
