Abstract
These data consist of gear ratio measurements of the calcanea (ankle bones) of all living North American mammal carnivore species and selected extinct species (Vertebrata, Mammalia, Carnivora). The gear ratio is the ratio of the maximum length of the calcaneum to the distance between the distal edge of the sustentacular facet to the proximal end of the calcaneal tuber. Full description is available in the associated publication.
