This collection gathers the 3D models of the musculoskeletal reconstructions of the MB.R.2921 caudal series of the sauropod dinosaur Giraffatitan brancai, from the Late Jurassic of Tendaguru (Tanzania). The 3D models can be separated into 2 sections: 1. the MB.R.2921 caudal series in Cartilaginous Neutral Poses (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%); 2. the 3D volumetric musculoskeletal reconstruction of the MB.R.2921 caudal series in Osteologically Neutral Pose. These files support the work in the paper: Díez Díaz, V, Demuth, O.E., Schwarz, D., Mallison, H. 2020. The tail of the Late Jurassic sauropod Giraffatitan brancai: digital reconstruction of its epaxial and hypaxial musculature and implications for tail biomechanics. Frontiers in Earth Science, 8.
