Description
English: Skeletal reconstruction and inferred body outline of the plioplatecarpine mosasaur Platecarpus. (A) New reconstruction based on LACM 128319. Note the regionalized caudal vertebral column resulting in four discrete structural units: proximal tail stock or base, mid-sectional displacement unit, narrow caudal peduncle, and distal fluke or propulsive surface. Also note the change in inclination of the neural and haemal spines along the caudal segment and the distinct tailbend formed by wedge-shaped vertebrae. The caudal terminology follows that of [28]. (B) Inferred body form of Platecarpus. The precise shape and depth of the dorsal lobe of the caudal fin is unknown.
