Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
N. V. Zelenkov et al. 2018Humerus: in caudal view, caput humeri dorsoventrally at least twice wider than proximodistally high; in cranial view, incisura capitis forming distinct, relatively shallow incisure in the proximal margin of the bone; tuberculum dorsale subtrian- gular in outline, its proximal part raised and positioned at the level of the caput humeri, and the distal part is almost flush with caudal bone surface or only slightly elevated above it; the capital shaft ridge is moderately developed and is not sharp; it is directed towards the ventral half of tuberculum dorsale; the fossa pneumotricipitalis ventralis is deep and well pneumatized, its opening facing distocau- dally (tuberculum ventrale is proximocaudally oriented). Coracoid: In cranial view, the transverse (mediolateral) axis of the processus acrocoracoideus (the plane through the depth of the process) forms acute angle with the plane of the shaft (acrocoracoid poorly inclined ventrally); the sul- cus m. supracoracoidei is excavated markedly and not pneumatized; the tuberculum brachiale overhangs the sulcus m. supracoracoidei throughout its whole depth; the medial margin of the shaft almost does not incline medially toward the omal end; the processus acrocoracoideus pro- trudes beyond the medial margin of the shaft; and the facies articularis humeralis is dorsoventrally wide (its dorsoventral depth roughly equals its craniocaudal length). Tibiotarsus: the longitudinal axis of the condylus lateralis is proximodistally aligned and distally does not incline medi- ally; the condyli are proximodistally short in cranial view (shorter than the width of the incisura intercondylaris); in distal view, the incisura intercondylaris is shallow and wide (slightly wider than the condylus lateralis); and the condyli subequally protrude cranially.
