From its broad, ventral expansion the clavicle sweeps upwards with a rather slender process lying externally and extending slightly anterior to the ciirved anterior edge of the scapulo-coracoid. Its upper extremity is applied to the anterior scapular edge, where it also meets the ventral end of the cleithrum. The sternum is ossified as a flattish disc-like element lying above the posterior end of the interclavicle. No facets for the ribs can be seen.
