This function is meant for dinosaur mass estimation from femoral length as presented by O'Gorman & Hone (2012)

1	OH2012(FL, eqn, data=NULL)

`FL`	a value or vector representing femoral length (in mm)
`eqn`	a character specifying the desired prediction equation (see Details)
`data`	an optional object of `class = "data.frame"` or `class = "matrix"`

Possible estimation equations (eqn =) include: "theropods", "sauropods", and "ornithischians". See O'Gorman & Hone (2012) for specific details and Campione & Evans (2020) for evaluations of the models. If a data object is specified, the mass estiamtes will be added as a column to the data.frame or matrix within that object.

OH2012

A vector representing the mass estimate(s) in log grams and grams
