A–C, R. definitus, proximal end of right tibiotarsus (IRSNB Av 114b) in craniomedial (A), cranial (B), and caudolateral (C) views. D, proximal tibiotarsus of Fulmarus glacialis (Procellariidae) in lateral view. E, R. definitus, proximal end of right tibiotarsus (IRSNB Av 112d) in lateral view. F, G, R. definitus, distal end of left tibiotarsus (IRSNB Av 103c) in cranial (F) and medial (G) views. H, distal tibiotarsus (medial view) of F. glacialis. I, R. definitus, proximal end of right tarsometatarsus (IRSNB Av 114c) in plantar view. J-L, R. definitus, proximal end of right tarsometatarsus (IRSNB Av 113) in dorsal (J), plantar (K), and proximal (L) views.
