also with a short and narrow neck as the first two ribs. The body of the fourth is long and almost round. Caput costae spherical, divided by a well pronounced furrow in the middle into two surfaces – facies articularis and facies articularis condilis, the first of which is bigger. Near its distal end the rib gradually becomes thinner. At the very end it becomes wider ending with a rough surface for the attachment of the cartilage. The other ribs are similar to the fourth. Their length gradually decreases (measurements in Table 10). Sternum. Only a fragment preserved, with a rough surface and places for the attachment of the rib cartilages. Comparison. The most disputable problem concerning the ribs is their number. There is still no explicit opinion on that matter and we don’t know their precise number. D. gigantissimum Stefanescu has 32 pairs of ribs restored, reaching up to the sacrum. What was the reason for this number, we do not know. By the restoration of D. bavaricum H. v. Meyer 11 pairs of ribs were mounted. As we can see from Plate XXIV, they had 5th, 9th, 17th and 18th thoracic vertebrae. It seems they restricted themselves to the 12th. Scapula (Pl. XII, Figs. 1 and 1a, 2 and 2a). Only the right is entirely preserved. There are separate frag- Table 12 Humerus № Dimensions, mm D. thraceiensis sp.n. Ezerovo, Bulgaria sin dext D. gigantissimum St. Manzati, Romania ments from the left, and it was restored after the right. Dorsally strongly flattened, becoming thinner at the anterior and posterior edge. Spina scapulae and the edges surround two concavities of unequal size. The crest takes almost the entire length of the scapula. It is divided in two near the tubersitas spinae, forming a wide long groove starting immediately behind the acromion and ending in the dorsal thickening. The acromion itself is high and curved towards the neck of the scapula. Fossa infraspina shallower but wider than fossa supraspina. Margo thoracales long and pointing outwards. It has a regular triangular shape. The articular surface for the attachment to the humerus is shallow. Humerus (Pl. XIII, Figs. 1. 1a and 2). Both humeri entirely preserved. Caput humeri large and curved, with no distinct neck. Tuberculum majus protrudes upwards, above caput humeri. Tuberculum minus is much smaller. Positioned cranio-medially. Between the two tubercles there is a deep and wide furrow – sulcus intertubercularis. Shaft of the bone round and smooth with weak sulcus spiralis. It starts on the dorsal surface above the caput and ends in front on the distal part over the joint. In the distal part of the bone is trochlea humeri, with two large projections, the lateral being the higher. In front, above them, is the wide and shallow fossa radialis, and on the posterior side – fossa olecrani. It is deeper and wider.
