I have provided all the necessary information and would like to have these added as they enrich several of UTEP:ES specimens. I believe that these are more specific than "unformatted measurements" (Text regarding measurements of the specimen (usually biological individual). Use more specific attributes when possible.) If the community disagrees, then I will use that attribute.

Created as "tooth width", with "transverse" as part of definition.
