TABLE 1. — Descriptive statistics (mean, SD, standard deviation,median; Q1, first quartile; Q3, third quartile,range) of dental microwear texture parameters for extant suid taxa and Kolpochoerus van Hoepen & van Hoepen, 1932 through the Shungura sequence (members C, E, F, lower part of G, H, J and L). Abbreviations: Asfc, complexity, or area-scale fractal complexity; epLsar, anisotropy, or exact proportion of length-scale anisotropy of relief; HAsfc, heterogeneity of area-scale fractal complexity.
