Figure 2. Radii of sprawling and parasagittal extant taxa.

Figure 2

The radial head (A) and long axis (B) of Caiman crocodylus (ROM R7719) shows the flattened ulnar articular surface and relatively straight long axis typical of sprawling taxa. The radial head (C) and long axis (D) of Ursus americanas (USNM 49664) shows the rounded ulnar articular surface and curved long axis typical of parasagittal mammals and chameleons. Scale bar = 5 cm. Radial heads not to scale. rh, radial head; sp, styloid process; us, ulnar articular surface.
