I just posted the results of more research and a little experiment I did
to test whether the pectoral girdle of Microraptor can be put in a
configuration where the glenoids face ventrally and the scapulae are wide
apart on the lateral surface of the ribcage.

There are many photos of my Microraptor skeletal models.

I welcome all criticism and suggestions.

thanks.
