Table 2. Selected measurements (in mm) of the axial, pectoral girdle and forelimb of the YPM-PU 22400 perinatal specimens of Maiasaura peeblesorum.
Scapular and humeral measurements are taken from the most complete scapula (Fig. 7C) and humerus (Figs. 8C and 8D), respectively. Forerarm and manual measurements are from the articulated forearm and hand shown in Figs. 9E and 9F. All other pectoral and forelimb elements are of similar size to those measured below.
