Description
I spent the end of Christmas with finishing my drawing study of a large Daspletosaurus specimen named "Pete III" which bones were found by the workers from Rocky Mountains Dinosaur Resource Center in 2005.My drawing is based on this photo twitter.com/Mosasaurologist/stβ¦
The photo shows the finished cast of "Pete III" which is currently assigned to Daspletosaurus sp. according to the RMDRC

That's a nicely accurate study! Is the scapula actually fused to the sternum?? I didn't know that!

Thank you a lot
The scapula is the elongated bone that rests on the side of the ribcage of a theropod dinosaur. It is connected to a rather circular looking bone near the humerus, which is called coracoid. And the small bone between the coracoids is the furcula. I haven't seen any sternums from fossilized dinosaurs, probably these were made up by cartilage and that kind of tissue doesn't fossilize well.
And those bones in the belly region are called gastralia (sometimes called "belly ribs"), which don't have an articulation with the ribs.

Wow I'm really glad I asked! I am not familiar with dinosaur anatomy at all, sounds like I need to get into it asap

You're welcome and it was no effort for me to explain that to you. I hope you have a smooth transition into the new year!
