Figure 4 in The Late Cenozoic Passerine Avifauna from Rackham's Roost Site, Riversleigh, Australia

Figure 4. Carpometacarpi of fossil Meliphagidae gen. et sp. indet., compared with those of extant meliphagid species in (A,C,E,G,I) ventral and (B,D,F,H,J) dorsal aspects. (A–B) QM F57899, right carpometacarpus. (C–D) Manorina melanocephala AM O.59876. (E–F) QM F22794, proximal left carpometacarpus. (G–H) AR17407, left carpometacarpus. (I–J) Gliciphila melanops AM O.65515. Some characteristic features of Meliphagidae shown: 1, distal edge of facies articularis alularis situated proximally of the level of the fovea lig. ventralis; 2, fovea lig. ventralis large; 3, distal end of os metacarpale majus broad and its cranial extent is greater than that of proc. dentiformis; 4, fossa on ventral surface of distal end of os metacarpale minus; 5, fovea carpalis caudalis deep, its distal margin located distally of the level of proc. cranialis; 6, broad fossa at distal end of sulcus tendinosus. Scale bar = 2 mm.
