Figure 8. Synsacrum of Oraristrix brea (F3700) in (A) anterior, (B) ventral, and (C) lateral view. Views of the posterior ischium of (D) Bubo virginianus (LACM 110180) and (E) Strix nebulosa (MVZ 151874) illustrate the differences in the posterior ends of this bone in these species. There is no breakage to the posterior ischium of O. brea. Femur, right, of O. brea (K9427) in (F) anterior, (G) posterior, and (H) lateral view. Lateral views of the left proximal femur of (I) O. brea (K9428), (J) S. nebulosa (MVZ 155426), and (K) B. virginianus (LACM 109226) illustrate the differences in form of the Crista trochantericus and position of the attachment of M. iliotrochantericus posterior. Tibiotarsus, left, of O. brea (E9888) in (L) anterior, (M) posterior, and (N) proximal view. Medial views of left proximal tibiotarsi of (O) O. brea (E9888), (P) B. virginianus (LACM 109226), and (Q) S. nebulosa (MVZ 155426) illustrate the differences in form of the Crista cnemialis anterior and the size and position of the attachment of M. gastrocnemius, pars interna. Fibula, left, of O. brea (H9244) in (R) lateral view. Scale bar = 20 mm.
