Well the SV-POW boys won’t do too well out of this as its rather vertebra-light, but here are a bunch of details of the Plateosaurus mount I showed yesterday.

OUCH! The poor animal!
I mentioned the hands and elbows last time, now your pictures show another damage of SMNS 13200 very well: the ilia have shifted backwards compared to the sacrum, so that the first sacral can be seen in lateral view. The foot is also messed up, with MT 2 behind MT 3 – it’s a cast, why didn’t they correct that?
Terrifying zombie hands!
This is awesome! Thank you for posting these gorgeous details.
Lovely. Din’t get too much from the whole-skeleton pics but these are great. That hand is freaky.
Those hands and claws are massive or at least more impressive than I actually noticed before.
. . . what is the size of one of those claws?
Pretty big, maybe 10 cm long or so.
The nail itself is that long? Incredible!
Well that is the bony part (the ungual) there’s no nail or claw part (the keratin sheath) there. That would have been bigger.
