The Amateur Paleontologist

Recommended Posts

For a school project, I am working on theropod evolution. One of the taxa I'm using is Tyrannosaurus rex (specifically the specimen FMNH PR2081 "Sue"). Would any of you know of a paper that gives measurements (including total length) of that specimen's forelimb?

 

Thanks for the help :)

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

Just to know, which would be the best way to measure ungual length?

Along the yellow or the red line?

Never been schooled in proper measurements.  :D

Some papers Ive read indicate how the measurement was taken and a common one is: measured straight from the ventral articular surface to tip.
