Epipodial and manus in dorsal view X \. Hipposaurus major. Holotype. 9081. slightly constricted waist. The proximal facet is a long oval and distally a similar facet meets the enlarged fused fourth and fifth distal carpals. The first centrale is a curiously shaped bone, distally it has two facets for the first two distal carpals, a proximal facet for the radiale and postaxially a curved face is applied to the concave face of the second centrale. The second centrale is larger, but also curiously shaped with two distal facets, one for the third distal and the other for that part of the fused element constituting the fourth distal. Proximally it has good contact with the intermedium and preaxially two faces fit against the radiale and first centrale respectively. There are four distal carpals. The first large, the second and third smaller and the fourth a large element representing a fusion of the fourth and fifth. All five metacarpals are completely and well preserved. The first metacarpal is the shortest with an expanded proximal end matching the large first distal; but the distal end is Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
