Summary[edit]
DescriptionEustreptospondylus.jpg | The proximally expanded fibula of Streptospondylus is conspicuouson account of its slender character, especially when compared withthe robust form of the associated tibia. In consequence of this dis-proportion it seems much more slender than in either Creosaurus,Allosauriis, or the Triassic forms. It does not show any trace ofdistal expansion. In the astragalus, which is applied firmly to, but not united with,the calcaneum, a well-developed ascending process is always present,but never reaches so high as in PoiMlopleuron. As in the latter*animal it is applied against a projection of the tibia. I wish Sullen NeiDton—Marine Fossils from Mekran Coast. 293 to refer to a former paper ^ for the phylogenetic value of theascending process. In opposition to what is known of Allosaurusand Megalosauiiis, there are in Streptospondylus in each foot fourwell-developed metatarsal bones, each bearing well-developed toesarmed with claws. The claws show the carnivorous pattern. With the superior crest of the ilium Mr. Parkers nearly completeStreptospondylus stood about 4 ft. 9 in. from the ground, and theParis specimen may have been 6 feet in height; the total length ofthese two animals was probably 20 and 27 feet. Megalosaurus, wemay assume, may have attained a maximum length of 30 feet. Plate XV accompanying this notice gives a reconstruction ofStreptospondylus as based on the study of Mr. J. Parkers fossil,and Miss A. B. Woodward has had the great kindness to makethis drawing according to my directions.
