Fig. 1. A in A large extinct marabou stork in African Pliocene hominid sites, and a review of the fossil species of Leptoptilos

Fig. 1. A. Leptoptilos falconeri, incomplete left tibiotarsus, KB3−97−161 (Kossom Bougoudi, Chad, ca. 5.0 Ma), comprising part of the distal end and all the shaft; caudal (A1), cranial (A2), and lateral (A3) aspects of the distal part. B. L. falconeri, SAG−VP−1/19 (Sagantole, Ethiopia, 4.4 Ma); B1, part of right tibiotarsus shaft, distal part, cranial aspect; B2 to B7, partial left tarsometatarsus, comprising the distal part and most of the shaft; B2, dorsal aspect, B3, plantar aspect; the deformation of the shaft visible on B2 and B3 is due to diagenetic agents; B4, dorsal aspect of distal part; B5, plantar aspect of distal part; B6, medial aspect of distal part; B7, lateral aspect of distal part. C. L. falconeri, left distal tarsometatarsus, BMNH 39736 (Siwalik Hills of India, 1.8–3.0 Ma), dorsal aspect, from a slightly more lateral point of view compared with B4 and D; after Lydekker (1884). D. L. dubius, FMNH 104387 (Recent), dorsal aspect of the distal part of the left tarsometatarsus. E. cf. L. falconeri, left distal tibiotarsus, URU−VP−1/28 (Urugus, Ethiopia, 4.4 Ma); medial (E1) and cranial (E2) aspects. F. cf. L. falconeri, right distal tibiotarsus, URU−VP−1/15 (Urugus, Ethiopia, 4.4 Ma), lateral aspect. G. L. falconeri, left distal tibiotarsus, OMO−122−76−367 (Omo Shungura, Ethiopia, ca. 2.5 Ma); medial (G1), cranial (G2), and lateral (G3) aspects. H. L. dubius, FMNH 104387 (Recent), left distal tibiotarsus; medial (H1), cranial (H2), and lateral (H3) aspects. Scale bars 10 mm.
