| The trochanteric bursa is located over the lateral prominence of the greater trochanter of the femur. |
| Gradually the blood vessels to the hip cut off nourishment to the head of the femur where it fits into the acetabulum. |
| The inferior gluteal artery also assists in forming the cruciate anastomosis that forms around the neck and greater trochanter of the femur. |
| This has the effect of moving the femur farther forward than would be possible with an akinetic pelvis thereby increasing stride length. |
| Also known as the shin bone, the tibia is the more medial bone and carries most of the weight transmitted between the femur and foot. |
| Most of what I found were unidentifiable broken sections of long bones, but I did find a bird femur and a nice rodent astragalus. |
