QUANTITATIVE RESULTS<br />

Numerical results from PCA<br />

Grouping of specimens by PCA<br />

1. "Arctometatarsalian" third metatarsais<br />

2. Other Coelurosauna<br />

3. Carnosauria<br />

4. Outgroups to Tetanurae<br />

DISCUSSION<br />

Are the hypotheses corroborated or falsified?<br />

Correlation of PCA with qualitative description<br />

Is the MT III shape segregation fundionally informative?<br />

MT III morphology suggests tentative hypotheses of function in<br />

arctometatarsalians
