Re: Ceratopsian Forelimb Articulation



'...we estimate that the humerus [of triceratops' forelegs] would have needed
to angle roughly 30 degrees outward from the vertical.'
Given the weight of the head, doesn't this put substantial weight on the
elbows?  I've heard about the ball-and-socket neck, but were the elbows
specially adapted too?
