The smallest specimens in any sample would have, of course, smaller eyes starting out with, maybe, 14 columns of lenses, then 15, then 16, then 17 and sometimes eventually 18, as I looked at progressively larger specimens in the growth series.
The smallest specimens are found in Southern Florida, while those near the northern limits of the raccoon's range tend to be the largest (see Bergmann's rule).
The smallest specimens in the study were estimated at three years old and less than 1 kilogram (2.2 lb), while the largest were nine years old and weighed almost 20 kilograms (44 lb).
The smallest specimens were identified as Tetragonosaurus, now seen as a synonym of Procheneosaurus, and the largest skeletons were called either Corythosaurus or Lambeosaurus; an adult was identified as Parasaurolophus.
Kimberella had a dorsal integument that has been described as a non-mineralized "shell"; in the larger specimens this reached up to 15 cm in length, 5 to 7 cm in width, and was 3 to 4 cm high; the smallest specimens are only about 2 3 mm long.
The number of scales in the smallest specimens is similar to that in the larger ones, although the distance between them increases.

The smallest specimen, a dentary, has a tooth row that is 221.5 mm long, in contrast to the 423.0 mm tooth row of the adult, which has a 947.0 mm long skull.
The smallest specimen of Triceratops found during this project is a partially complete skull that is half again the length of the smallest previously known skull [20].
The CT scans from B-acu13 were used as the primary dataset because it was the smallest specimen, resulting in the best image quality.
Even in the small specimens like the jackrabbit there is extreme attention to detail.
