Figure 22. A, origins and insertions of mm. intercristales (top, light-fill shapes), mm. intertransversarii (dark-fill shapes) and an interpretation of dorsal, rib head origins (large light-filled shapes) of m. iliocostalis capitis, of Tyrannosaurus rex (AMNH 5027). B, moment arms for lateroflexion by mm. intertransversarii on C6–C8 of Tyrannosaurus rex (BHI 3033, ventral view).
Figure 23. A in Functional morphology of neck musculature in the Tyrannosauridae (Dinosauria, Theropoda) as determined via a hierarchical inferential approach
Figure 23. A, topological appearance of m. rectus capitis ventralis (anterior muscles) and m. iliocostalis cervicis (posteroventrally originating muscles) on anterior axial skeleton of Tyrannosaurus rex (BHI 3033), ventral view. The moment arm for lateral flexion by m. iliocostalis cervicis is superimposed. B, m. r.c.v.: origins of m. rectus capitis ventralis from ventral spinous processes of Tyrannosaurus rex (BHI 3033) with arrow showing course of the muscle. m. il. cerv.: origin from ventral centra and insertions onto ventral fascia of cervical ribs of m. iliocostalis cervicis, with arrow showing course of the muscle. C, insertion of m. rectus capitis ventralis onto basioccipital of Daspletosaurus torosus (CMN 8506; the specimen is incomplete and the image partly mirrored), showing moment arms. Because the tyrannosaurid occiput slopes anteroventrally, the ventroflexion moment arm is somewhat longer than depicted in this view. D, strength of functional inference for head ventroflexion by m. rectus capitis ventralis in Tyrannosaurus rex. E, strength of functional inference for neck lateroflexion by m. iliocostalis cervicis of Tyrannosaurus rex.

Figure 16 in Functional morphology of neck musculature in the Tyrannosauridae (Dinosauria, Theropoda) as determined via a hierarchical inferential approach
Figure 16. Schematic diagram of major neck muscles of Tyrannosaurus rex in dorsal view. A–C represent successively deeper layers, and other conventions are as in Figure 15. M. complexus inserts dorsally on the squamosal, and m. iliocostalis capitis inserts along the ventral edge of the paroccipital process. M. longissimus capitis superficialis inserts between these on the lateral edge of the paroccipital process. In C a probable lateral part of m. spinalis capitis is signified by a '?'.
Figure 11. A in Functional morphology of neck musculature in the Tyrannosauridae (Dinosauria, Theropoda) as determined via a hierarchical inferential approach
Figure 11. A, origins (dark shapes) and insertions (lighter outlined shapes) of mm. intertransversarii aponeuroses on posterior cervical vertebrae of Struthio camelus. Origins are from anterior faces of lateral tubercles, and insertions are onto posterior projections of the lateral tubercles. Arrows represent lines of action whereby insertions are drawn towards the origins to effect intervertebral lateroflexion. B, origins (dark) and insertions (lighter) of mm. inclusii on posterior cervical vertebrae of Struthio camelus. Origins are from anterior faces of the costal processes, and insertions are onto the lateral and dorsolateral tubercles. Arrows represent lines of action whereby insertions are drawn towards the origins. C, origins (dark-filled shapes) and insertions (light-filled shapes) of lateral portions of mm. intertransversarii in Caiman crocodylus. Arrows represent lines of action from origin to insertion, by which the muscles would lateroflex the anterior vertebra of each pair relative to the posterior one.
Figure 9. A in Functional morphology of neck musculature in the Tyrannosauridae (Dinosauria, Theropoda) as determined via a hierarchical inferential approach

Figure 5 in Functional morphology of neck musculature in the Tyrannosauridae (Dinosauria, Theropoda) as determined via a hierarchical inferential approach
Figure 5. Attachments of muscles inserting on the occiput of birds. A, posterior cervical vertebrae of Strutio camelus, showing osteological origin of posterior belly of m. biventer cervicis. B, anterior cervical vertebrae of Haliaeetus leucocephalus, with origins of m. complexus, m. splenius capitis and m. rectus capitis dorsalis (outlined). M. complexus originates from the epipophyses dorsally (as in Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and sometimes the lateral tubercles ventrally. For adjoining origins of m. complexus and m. rectus capitis dorsalis from the lateral tubercles, the latter is the anterior of each pair. C, occiput of Struthio camelus, depicting all insertions. In Struthio camelus and many other birds m. splenius capitis lateralis inserts laterally onto the occiput, but in other birds part of m. complexus inserts here.
Figure 4 in Functional morphology of neck musculature in the Tyrannosauridae (Dinosauria, Theropoda) as determined via a hierarchical inferential approach
Figure 4. Comparison of major sites of muscle attachment on the necks of tyrannosaurids versus crocodilians and birds. A, cervical series of Caiman crocodylus (above; C1–C9) and Tyrannosaurus rex (below; C1–C10), depicting similarities of posterior transverse process morpohology. B, cervical series of Asio flamaeus (above) and Tyrannosaurus rex (below), depicting morphological similarities of epipophysis and the C2 neural spine. In all three groups the anterior transverse processes are smaller than their posterior counterparts (to show this clearly the C2 cerivical rib of T. rex is not pictured). Cervical rib morphology differs markedly among these archosaurs. The specimens are scaled to similar lengths from C1 to C9. The Tyrannosaurus rex is a composite reconstruction of C1 from Osborn (1905), BHI 3033 (C2) and AMNH 5027 (the remaining bones).
Figure 3 in Functional morphology of neck musculature in the Tyrannosauridae (Dinosauria, Theropoda) as determined via a hierarchical inferential approach
Figure 3. Flow chart for extant behavioural interpolation, which enables inference of muscle-modulated behaviours in extinct animals. The certainty of behavioural inference in an extinct taxon is inversely related to the behaviour's specificity. Behaviour can be inferred by phylogenetic bracketing if similarity of muscle function is established in extant clades by kinematic and physiological considerations, and if these functions correlate with similar behaviours in the extant groups.

D, insertions and moment arms for m. complexus (two dorsal) and m. iliocostalis capitis (ventral) on occiput of Daspletosaurus torosus (CMN 8506; the specimen is incomplete and the image partly mirrored for clarity).
Figure 2. A in Functional morphology of neck musculature in the Tyrannosauridae (Dinosauria, Theropoda) as determined via a hierarchical inferential approach
Figure 2. A, inference of muscle function for turning the head in extant animals. Axes represent levels of corroboration of muscle topological and kinematic morphology, physiology and observed behaviour. The volume subtended by these levels of certainty is the behavioural inference space for the muscle. The muscles m. transversospinalis capitis lateralis and m. complexus, homologous and present in crocodilians and birds, respectively, are depicted as examples with different levels of corroboration along the axes and more or less certain inference of function. Physiological activity is shown as confirmed by electromyography in birds, but only hypothesized in crocodilians. B, inferring the function of m. complexus for turning the head in tyrannosaurids. Axes represent levels of inference (Witmer, 1995) for morphology and physiology, and level of inference for kinematic action of the muscle based on its reconstructed morphology (see text for explanation). Because physiological muscle function during movements is corroborated in only one pole of the extant bracket, and the physiology does not leave osteological correlates, a Level II′ inference is the best possible for the extinct taxon.
