FIGURE 10

Wing elements of a, Mancalla sp. (Alcidae, Lucas Auk; composite LACM 154560; modified from Smith (2011b, fig. 16); not to scale; oblique dorsal view) and b, Cinclus mexicanus (Cinclidae, American Dipper; rendered from CT scan of FMNH 288367; oblique ventral view). Note that in Mancalla, the ulna is shorter than both the humerus and the carpometacarpus, a condition otherwise known only in hummingbirds among all extant Aves (Smith, 2011b). In contrast, the ulnae of dippers are longer than both the humerus and carpometacarpus but are also relatively shorter than the ulnae of thrushes. Scale bar = 3.5 mm
