All eusauropods, in contrast, are characterized by a shortened manus in which each digit bears two or fewer phalanges, and only the pollex bears an ungual. |
The first two phalanges of each digit are flattened and expanded, while the last is reduced and bears a nail, not a hoof. |
Extant humeralrotation diggers exhibit broad palms and short non-ungual phalanges, and include moles and some frogs and amphisbaenians. |
Let's consider how we might explain the existence in bats of a membrane between their phalanges that enable them to fly. |
The third section wing consists of the third section containing the metacarpals and phalanges. |
From here proximally the phalanges are broad and depressed and the scansors extend towards the base of the digits beneath these highly modified phalanges. |
