Nevertheless, I've noticed additional similarities between caudal transverse processes/ribs and dorsal transverse processes/diapophyses, at least in abelisauroids (they could be part of a future paper, so I prefer not to say more). It could be possible that at least theropods/abelisauroids caudals followed a different developmental process.Andrea Cauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10855060597677361866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156944512466583246.post-42634673195463166572011-06-20T22:52:17.923+02:002011-06-20T22:52:17.923+02:00Interesting idea, but don't basal diapsids lik...Interesting idea, but don't basal diapsids like Petrolacosaurus show the entire caudal transverse process is a rib that is simply always fused to the centrum in dinosaurs? The laminae on some saurischian proximal caudals could just be a consequence of similarities in the position of the airsacs across vertebrae. And the odd abelisaur ossifications would be neomorphs, though perhaps sharing Mickey Mortimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831823442911513851noreply@blogger.com
