Day 7 - Sharovipteryx

~ A Mid to Late Triassic sharovipterygidae reptile from Kyrgyzstan. Sharovipteryx was a small reptile with long hindlimbs that had wing membranes, this odd form would have allowed them to glide from tree to tree.

We identified muscle attachments on the pelvis and hindlimbs and built the musculature in 3D! Based on those 3D muscles and muscle architectural data of crocodylians and lizards we estimated muscle parameters for our musculoskeletal simulations. 5/15

Long before the dodo was discovered on Mauritius, another large pigeon lived in the Kingdom of Tonga, Tongoenas burleyi. The hindlimb anatomy suggests it was one of the canopy-dwelling frugivorous pigeons, so unlike the dodo it could fly.

This allowed us to build the full hindlimb musculature of Euparkeria capensis. A first for a Triassic fossils! All limb slices of the alligator can be found in the Supplementary Information here: https://t.co/NI1zU9Q9N3

Hungarosaurus is not only interesting because it's a late Cretaceous ankylosaur from Europe but also because of it's front limbs, which are longer than the hindlimbs, a unique feature.

I could do this :) I have one of walking Tyrannosaurus hindlimbs already

Cryptoclidus

A Plesiosaur that probably fed on small soft bodied creatures, some believe it was able to find smells and other traces in the water

ALT: When first described it was believed to be another plesiosaurus species, since its forelimb had been mistaken as a hindlimb

The skeletal material of Diamantinasaurus included most of the forelimb, shoulder girdle, pelvis, hindlimb, ribs, radius, and vertebrae. The forelimb was complete with the radius being more robust than contemporary titanosaurs, except Opisthocoelicaudia. (1/2)

Archaeophis also rules out some of the more outlandish depictions of Palaeophis, like ones with hindlimbs. Palaeophiids are not closely related to the basal snakes that had hindlimbs, so I'm not even sure how this idea got started.

of Plateosaurus for The hindlimb looks odd because it has a large Psittacosaurus-style membrane between the lower leg and body. This is speculative, but there's no reason to think Psittacosaurus had a monopoly on limb patagia among non-volant dinosaurs.

Fun fact, I actually redid a whole new Procompsognathus for the article, but ended up going with the old one anyway 'cause I liked how I snuck in the articulated hindlimb from the holotype. https://t.co/72vMa9sMy9

Believe it or not, this horse's lack of eyes may not limit athletic performance. Many blind horses do well under saddle. However, the missing right hindlimb will severely limit potential for soundness even as a companion. Discuss euthanasia with vet. -20/10

It's leaping foward or launching, usually it would walk on all fours like here (art by Mark Witton). Azhdarchids generally had long hindlimbs fitting their lifestyle.

Hopping/pentapedal macropods and quadrupedal artiodactyls' fore and hindlimb bones generally scale similarly-- why? Find out here: https://t.co/HbgBhkJLMz w/ et al. Loads of yummy CT scan data: https://t.co/J8xMvNKlQq
