Abstract This report presents a three-dimensional description of adult female and male pelvis from the Hamann-Todd skeletal collection, Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Based on a linear height/weight matching strategy and the 1961- 1964 U.S. Health and Examination Survey (HES) data, specimens were selected to represent the small female, medium male, and large male pelvic sizes. One hundred and twenty-three anatomically defined points are used to describe the spatial pelvic geometry in a pelvic-anatomical axis system. A statistical summary of means and standard deviations is presented as X, Y, and Z coordinate value sets to identify each point in three-dimensional space. Full-scale models for each size category were produced for design modeling of anthropomorphic test devices. These data will also be useful as comparative standards for forensic investigations of air crashes and quantitative information on size and shape variability of adult human pelvis.
