Re: BIRD BONE ID



I guess it's the os humeroscapularis, a sesamoid ( = tendon ossification,
like a kneecap) that's mentioned below as the origin of the M. deltoideus
maior pars cranialis in *Sturnus vulgaris*; it's located "dorsal to the
humeral head and immediately posterior to the supracoracoideus tendon" (p.
322).
