(plate XVIIIa and fig. 3) When this specimen came under my notice it had already been partly cleared of matrix and the parts glued together. Before preparing it further I embedded the whole in plaster. In the accompanying plate I give a photograph of the pes after preparation and still in the plaster bed. From this it is evident that the two proximal tarsals joined by matrix were rotated as a unit through 180° when joined by glue to the distal part of the pes in. 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.
