From the left: Mesembriportax acrae L46592; Bovini, presumably Simatherium demissum L50612, L50663. Scales in millimetres. L6094, L9740-distal right radii probably from PPM L20445—complete right metacarpal, probably from QSM, with length and least transverse thickness of 225 x 35,0. L12279—left proximal metacarpal probably from PPM The distal humeri have slanted condyles, a fairly deep hollowing for the lateral humeroradial ligament, a wide distal end


. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. Fig. 12. Occlusal and lateral views of left MgS. From the left: Mesembriportax acrae L46592; Bovini, presumably Simatherium demissum L50612, L50663. Scales in millimetres. L6094, L9740-distal right radii probably from PPM L20445—complete right metacarpal, probably from QSM, with length and least transverse thickness of 225 x 35,0. L12279—left proximal metacarpal probably from PPM The distal humeri have slanted condyles, a fairly deep hollowing for the lateral humeroradial ligament, a wide distal end of the lateral surface behind the ridge demarcating the hollow for the humeroradial ligament, and a coronoid fossa which is moderately deep. Both proximal radii show a moderately large lateral tubercle which is set low, a rim on the medial side of the medial facet, and a lateral facet which sticks well forward anteriorly. L9992 has an angled edge to its medial facet, whereas L21306 is rounded, and L9992 is wider front to back across its medial facet than L21306. The anterior flanges on the distal radii are wide apart and not strongly developed, the posteromedial facet for the scaphoid at maximum flexion is poorly hollowed, the anterior facets for lunate and scaphoid and the posterior one for the lunate are, however, better marked, that part of the articular facet for the cuneiform which lies on the radius is quite wide, and the distal end as a whole is swollen in side view. The articular surfaces of the metacarpal proximally do not fill the whole available area at the top of the bone, and the edge of the magnumtrapezoid facet does not have a single, clearly angled anteromedial corner. Distally there are poor hollows on the anterior surface above the condyles. The outer edges of the condyles are nearly parallel to one Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearanc
