Furcula development question
I need to figure out how to explain the developmental aspect of the avian
furcula. I know that the wishbone is a non-endocartilarinous element that
develops as a connective tissue precursor with no cartilage present. However,
our clavicle does develop with both a cartilaginous and connective tissue
precursor. Does this imply the same for theropods and birds? I do not know. Can
anyone help me out?
Thanks
Kris
