Fig. 8. Chironectes minimus (AMNH 264571) and Caluromys philander (AMNH 267001), fifth lumbar vertebra in anterior view. In Chironectes, the transverse process (tp) is ventrally extended beyond the vertebral body (b) (ch. 37[1]), whereas in Caluromys it is not extended beyond the vertebral body, being more laterally extended (ch. 37[0]). Other abbreviations: mp, mammillary process; sp, spinous process; vf, vertebral foramen. Scale bars: 5 mm.
