Figure 20. A in Functional morphology of neck musculature in the Tyrannosauridae (Dinosauria, Theropoda) as determined via a hierarchical inferential approach

Description

Figure 20. A, origin scar of m. splenius capitis from C2 of Tyrannosaurus rex (BHI 3033), in anterodorsal view. B, area of possible insertions of m. splenius capitis (medial part) on the occiput of Daspletosaurus torosus (CMN 8506; the specimen is incomplete and the image partly mirrored), with moment arms shown for dorsiflexion and lateroflexion. C, insertions of m. longus colli dorsalis/m. transversospinalis cervicis onto posterior and dorsal surfaces of epipophyses, from C2 to C5. The most prominent insertion is a posteriorly concave scar on the C2 epipophysis. D, centres of rotation (white circles) and moment arms (lines) for insertions of m. longus colli dorsalis/m. transversospinalis cervicis, on cervical vertebrae of Tyrannosaurus rex (BHI 3033). Centres of rotation are estimated to be at positions similar to those Selbie, Thomson & Richmond (1993) determined for intervertebral flexion in cats.
