This black-and-white scientific illustration depicts the pectoral girdle of a bird, featuring the furcula (cl), scapula (Sc), coracoid (co), and sternum (st) with associated processes like the acromion (Gl) and xiphoid process (x). The diagram includes epiphyses (Ep, Epc) and ossification centers (om), illustrating developmental and functional morphology critical for flight adaptation. Fine stippling indicates cartilage or dense bone regions.
