Glorious high-resolution images, sixteen additional tables of specimen
measurements - who'd want
to publish a cut-down version of their paper in a print journal when you've got
PLos One at your
disposal?
I particularly liked the digital images generated from CT scan data. By
tweaking the lighting you
can really emphasise every crack and bump, while removing the distracting
colour changes in the
actual specimen.
Of course, it's a step backwards for those who like to invent new data from
those colour changes
using photoshop enhancements. :-)
