Table 10. Estimated internal air space in S. aegyptiacus.
Air space options for the adult flesh model of S. aegyptiacus and their effect on whole-body density, body mass (BM), and center of mass (CM). The x-coordinate for CM is measured from the apex of the acetabulum.
| No. | Air space option | Part of whole-body volume (%) | Mean whole-body density(g/l) | BM(kg) | CM x-coordinate(cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Minimum (lizard-like) |
4.0 | 909 | 8013 | 28.5 |
| 2 | Medium (croc-like) |
8.0 | 875 | 7716 | 23.2 |
| 3 | Maximum (bird-like) |
12.5 | 833 | 7390 | 15.3 |
