Since then I've reorganised things a bit, so you might want to go to this page instead: http://www.archaeopteryx.nl/projects/gerhard-heilmann/works-by-gerhard-heilmann/ Cheers, Ilja Hi, I see you link to my (old) website with works by Gerhard Heilmann.

I also took the liberty of using one of your illustrations in said post. Hope that's okay. I’ve put a link to this post up at Linnaeus’ Legacy.

The sternum lies caudal to the coracoids, and is not preserved in any tyrannosauroid. Probably it never ossified.

I knew that Syntarsus had a wishbone so, by association, Coelophysis probably did, too. But it's good to see the physical evidence! I believe there was an article in JVP a few years back claiming a furcula-like structure in a prosauropod, so maybe wishbones are primitive for Saurischia? One quick note--the famous Sue furcula is actually a pair of gastral ribs! An actual tyrannosaur furcula was discovered fairly recently (the paper is in one of my edited volumes--"The Carnivorous Dinosaurs," I believe) and T.rex's furcula was actually pretty similar to other coelurosaurs: lightly V-shaped and not very big. This actually means that T.rex's sternal plates were much closer together than Sue's mount would have you believe. If you have that most recent (2007) paper, sir, which you cite above, could you send it my way? Thanks! Very cool!
