FIG. 69 in Model-based analysis of postcranial osteology of marsupials from the Palaeocene of Itaboraí (Brazil) and the phylogenetics and biogeography of Metatheria

FIG. 69. — The patterns of bones in the carpus, viewed anteriorly, in some representatives of major groups of Metatheria. Lines between the patterns that can be found in the taxa (indicated under them by the taxonomic vernacular) represent approximate (or queried) transformations of these patterns. They do not stand for transformation of taxa from one into the other. Abbreviations: Cn, cuneiform; Lu, lunate; Mcp1-5, metacarpals; Mg, magnum; Pi, pisiform; Ra, radius; Sc, scaphocentrale; Tm, trapezium; Tr, trapezoid; Ul, ulna; Un, unciform.
