Summary
| Description |
English: Figure 1. Skeleton composite of Mixodectes pungens (NMMNH P-54501) with most elements in ventral view or oriented to illustrate features such as articular surfaces. Many elements of the axial skeleton, manus, and pes could be identified to anatomical region but not to specific position and are presented to illustrate overall completeness of this specimen. Descriptions and orientations of skeletal elements in boxes A-F organized from left to right and then from top to bottom: (a) partial skull in dorsal, ventral views. (b) distal phalanx in dorsal, L lateral, R lateral, ventral, proximal views; proximal phalanx in dorsal, L lateral, R lateral, ventral, proximal, distal views. (c) L partial scapula in lateral view; L humerus in ventral, medial, dorsal, lateral, distal views. (d) R proximal ulna in ventral, lateral, dorsal, medial views; L radius in dorsolateral, dorsomedial, ventromedial, ventrolateral, distal, proximal views. (e) L partial innominate in lateral view; L femur in ventral, medial, dorsal, lateral, distal, proximal views. (f) L tibia in proximal, ventral views; L astragalus in medial, lateral, distal views; R calcaneum in medial, lateral, distal views; L entocuneiform in medial, lateral, distal views. Skeleton composite scale bar, 5 cm; a-f scale bars, 1 cm. |
