Figure 3 in The vertebral column of Chaetophractus villosus (Desmarest, 1804) (Chlamyphoridae, Cingulata, Xenarthra): Anatomy and Thoracolumbar variation. Spinal cord relation

Figure 3. Axial skeleton in two specimens of C. villosus that deviate from the thoracolumbar count of 11T + 3L. (A) Specimen with 12T + 3L (LMED-652). Above, dorsal view of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions. Below left, lateral view of the lumbosacral region. Below right, ventral view of the pelvis. Black arrowheads indicate the synsacral foramina, (B) Specimen 12T + 2L (LMED-637). Above, dorsal view of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions. Below left, lateral view of the lumbosacral region. Below right, ventral view of the pelvis articulating with the first free caudal (Cd1). do.rd. = dorsal ridge; rb.fc. = rib facet, pb.sy. = pubic symphysis, v.r. = ventral ramus, t.p. = transverse process in first caudal (Cd1).
