- Rodhocetus is an extinct genus of protocetid early whale known from the Lutetian of Pakistan. The best-known protocetid, Rodhocetus is known from two partial skeletons that taken together give a complete image of an Eocene whale that had short limbs with long hands and feet that were probably webbed and a sacrum that was immobile with four partially fused sacral vertebrae. It is one of several extinct whale genera that possess land mammal characteristics, thus demonstrating the evolutionary tran

- It stood quite low, about 8 foot high, but was 6 metres long, easily dwarfing a human, with dexterous forelimbs with flexible claws and an opposable thumb with which to grasp prey. It was possibly a scavenger, fossils showing a very weak attachment of the main upper jaw bones to the tip of the upper jaw.

Sternum Sternum. The sternum, or breastbone, is a flat bone at the front center of the chest. The ribs and sternum make up what is called the ribcage.. The ribcage protects the lungs, blood vessels, and heart, along with parts of the spleen, stomach, and kidneys from traumatic injury.The sternum is attached to the first seven ribs and also to the clavicle, or collarbone. The sternum is made up of three parts called the manubrim, the body, and the xiphoid process.In adults, the sternum portions are fused.The top of the sternum is the manubrim, or handle. It is connected to the first two ribs and is not completely rigid.he ribcage protects the lungs, blood vessels, and heart, along with parts of the spleen, stomach, and kidneys from traumatic injury. The sternum is attached to the first seven ribs and also to the clavicle, or collarbone. The sternum is made up of three parts called the manubrim, the body, and the xiphoid process.

Giant âChicken From Hellâ is New Dinosaur Species Researchers announcing a newly described dinosaur called it the “chicken from hell,” “hell’s chicken” and “scary as well as absurd.”. More prosaically known as Anzu wyliei, the beaked dinosaur stood about ten feet tall and more than 11 feet long with a tall crest on its head and sharp claws.

Archaeopteryx :An Early Bird It is one of the most important fossils ever discovered. Unlike all living birds, Archaeopteryx had a full set of teeth, a rather flat sternum (breastbone), a long, bony tail, gastralia (belly ribs), and three claws on the wing which could have still been used to grasp prey (or maybe trees).

Sternum The sternum or breastbone is a long flat bone shaped like a necktie located in the center of the chest. It connects to the ribs via cartilage, forming the front of the rib cage, and thus helps to protect the heart, lungs, heart and major blood vessels from injury. The sternum is consists of three regions: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid process. The word sternum originates from the Greek στέρνον, meaning chest.

- It feeds entirely on shell-fish from the kelp and tidal rocks: hence the beak and head, for the purpose of breaking them, are surprisingly heavy and strong: the head is so strong that I have scarcely been able to fracture it with my geological hammer; and all our sportsmen soon discovered how tenacious these birds were of life.

- Ceratosaurus /ˌsɛrətoʊˈsɔːrəs/, was a large predatory theropod dinosaur from the Late Jurassic Period, found in the Morrison Formation of North America, and the Lourinhã Formation of Portugal. It was characterized by large jaws with blade-like teeth, a large, blade-like horn on the snout and a pair of hornlets over the eyes. The forelimbs were powerfully built but very short. The bones of the sacrum were fused and the pelvic bones were fused together and to this structure. A row of ...

Batoidea Anatomy [edit]. Batoids are flat-bodied, and, like sharks, are cartilaginous marine fish, meaning they have a boneless skeleton made of a tough, elastic substance.Most batoids have five ventral slot-like body openings called gill slits that lead from the gills, but the Hexatrygonidae have six.he sawfishes are shark-like in form, having tails used for swimming and smaller pectoral fins than most batoids. The pectoral fins are attached above the gills as in all batoids, giving the fishes a broad-headed appearance. They have long, flat snouts with a row of tooth-like projections on either side.

Whale Whale ribs loosely articulate with their thoracic vertebrae at the proximal end, but do not form a rigid rib cage. This adaptation allows the chest to compress during deep dives as the pressure increases.

Chapter 7 Ribs, or costae, are elongated, curved, flattened bones that originate on or between the thoracic vertebrate and end in the wall of the thoracic cavity. Humans have 12 pairs of ribs, the first 7 are true ribs connected to the sternum by separate cartilaginous extensions called the coastal cartilages. Ribs 8-12 are called false ribs because they do not connect directly to the sternum. Ribs 11&12 are called floating ribs because they do not connect to the sternum at all.

Theropoda Among the features linking theropod dinosaurs to birds are the three-toed foot, a furcula (wishbone), air-filled bones, brooding of the eggs, and (in some cases) feathers. The smallest non-avian full adult specimen is the Anchiornis, which weighed only 3.38 ounces, and was less than 1 foot long.

Short-beaked echidna The short-beaked echidna is covered in fur and spines and has a distinctive snout and a specialized tongue, which it uses to catch its prey at a great speed. Like the other extant monotremes, the short-beaked echidna lays eggs; the monotremes are the only group of mammals to do so.This echidna has extremely strong front limbs and claws due to its mechanical advantage which allows it to burrow quickly with great power.he short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) is one of four living species of echidna and the only member of the genus Tachyglossus.

Chest Bone Deformity in Dogs In pectus excavatum, the sternum and costal cartilages are deformed, resulting in a horizontal narrowing of the chest, primarily on the posterior side. The sternum, or chest bone, is a long flat bone located in the center of the thorax, and the costal cartilages are the cartilages that connect the chest bone with the ends of the ribs. In appearance, the middle of the chest appear to be flat or concave, rather than slightly convex. Brachycephalic (short-nose) breed dogs are predisposed to this condition and in most cases are born with (congenital) this disability.

- The Chondrichthyes are the cartilaginous fishes including the sharks, rays, skates and chimaeras. The Osteichthyes are the bony fish. Both of these groups became established d … uring the Devonian Period about 400 million years ago.The Chondrichthyes differ from the Osteichthyes in many respects, including their skeletons, scales, teeth, buoyancy, swimming, gills and reproduction. Scales:   Cartilaginous fish have large scales called placoid scales. These have a bone like base embedded in the skin and a backward projecting enamel covered dentine spine. The whole thing has a central pulp cavity (rather like the structure of teeth). The epidermis and dermis form placoid scales.

First creature to walk on land 'dragged itself along' on two feet - like it was on crutches One of the first four-legged creatures that walked on land moved like a fish known as a mudskipper, a study shows-dragging itself along on its forelimbs like crutches. The creature lived in floodplains on what is now Greenland during a period known geologically as the Devonian period-about 360 to 410 million years ago.nstead, the creature, known as Ichthyostega, would have hauled itself up on its front limbs like it was on crutches. Previously, scientists believed the creature would have walked like a salamander.The first 3D modelling of it showed that Earth’s first ‘walkers’ were more like mudskipper fish than lizards.
