The pubic shafts are oval in sec- tion, with the greatest diameter in the transverse direction. Just short of mid-length, the shafts expand medially and the two pubes join in a massive symphysis that measures 210 mm, or more than half the total pubic length. Over most of the sym- physial length, the pubes are quite broad, forming a transverse apron of 60 to 67 mm width. The distal extremity contrarily is narrow transversely, but expanded longitu

The distal extremity contrarily is narrow transversely, but expanded longitudinally into the typi- cal theropod "footUke" structure. This pubic "foot"' is approx- imately 135 mm long (anteroposteriorly), but only 35 mm in its maximum preserved width. There is no doubt any longer about the form of the pubis, but doubts still exist about the in vivo position of the pubes (and.
