The pectineal line of the pubis, also known as the pectin pubis, is located just above the obdurator foramens, which are the two small openings created by the pelvic bones located on the lower portion of the skeletal structure. An elevated bony line across the top of the superior pubic ...
The obturator internus is a type of muscle that is located in the human pelvis. The main purpose of the obturator internus...
Specific weird things to note: neck about twice as long as tail, cervical vertebrae about twice as tall as dorsals, and smallish pelvic bones relative to hindlimbs (= skinny posterior abdomen, at least dorsoventrally). See this post for details. Third, if any sauropods were going to ...
Matt deliberately left behind his tripod — it’s on the desk where we had the pelvic elements. He has much better tripods at home, and regrets the false economy of bringing that lighter and less stable one. But we figured it would be better than nothing for the use of anyone who turns...
The mountedRapetosaurusskeleton at the Field Museum, traced from a photo. Specific weird things to note: neck about twice as long as tail, cervical vertebrae about twice as tall as dorsals, and smallish pelvic bones relative to hindlimbs (= skinny posterior abdomen, at least dorsoventrally)...
surrounding the vanilla-flavored white chocolate dinosaur bones Jenny made the dino bones using a set of (new, clean) plastic sand molds, like these: You can find a zillion like ’em online by searching for ‘dinosaur sand toys’ or ‘dinosaur sand mold’. ...
The greater part of the skeleton consists of the specimen AMNH 460 from the Nine Mile Crossing Quarry north of Como Bluff, Wyoming, supplemented with bones from other AMNH specimens from Como Bluff, Bone Cabin Quarry, and with plaster casts of the forelimbs of the holotype specimen of Bronto...

pelvic splanchnic nerves. The gonads are buried in all of that, and they may get some pelvic splanchnic innervation as well, but they also get innervated by the vagus nerves. (Note for fellow arch-pedants: yes, I know there’s evidence that the pelvic splanchnics should technically be ...
Holy crap, how have I been working on dinosaur bones — and specifically their associated soft tissues — for more than two decades without wondering exactly how the blood was getting into and out of each bone? Arguably, not only should Mike and I have done this project first, I should ha...
