. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. Scapula of Avenantia kruisvleiensis. 9167. (x i) a. Lateral view. b. Internal view. c. Posterior view. Genus Avenantia Boonstra The girdles and limbs are very inadequately known. The scapula is low (400 mm.), and apparently with a very broad blade (width 210 mm.); the glenoidal facet faces ventro-posteriorly and not externally at all; the supracoracoid canal crosses the suture into the scapula to open into the subscapular groove. The ilium is incompletely preserved, but its blade is fairly low

The ilium is incompletely preserved, but its blade is fairly low, and both the anterior and posterior processes are long and low. On the other hand the femur is very Moschops-like; it is a moderately robust bone with a length of 378 mm.; 168 mm. wide over the external trochanter; the preaxial face is deeply concave and the caput directed well preaxially; the shaft is fairly slender (diams. 96 x 60 mm.); the condyles face ventro-distally and the postaxial condyle is situated much further distally than the preaxial 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.
