kauffy Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have quite a few diagrams i have accumulated, any chance one of the mods could pin this thread? so that it doesnt get lost? i agree these diagrams are great for those who are trying to identify vertabrete fossils. Here are my Contributions. "Turn the fear of the unknown into the excitment of possibility!"We dont stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.

kauffy Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I think you got a bit overwhealmed! the 'lizard' diagram is actually salamander (i should have written that somewhere sorry!) and the one titled 'lizard 2' is actually a rodent skeleton! 'bird foot' is a therapod dino foot articulation, make these changes and it looks like were starting to get a good range of vertebrate diagrams!

Major Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Nothing new still? Weird. I think this should be sticky, just so someone could use it as reference, and it could continuously be built up. *Bump* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
