A. Right dorsal rib (MCF-PVPH 108–175); B. Dorsal rib (MCF-PVPH 108–220); C. Close up of boxed region in A showing erosions (arrows) on overtubulated area; D. Close up of boxed region in B; E. ?Left pedal phalanx III-1 (MCF-PVPH 108–23) showing marginal erosion (arrow) on distal articular surface; F. Oblique view of lesion identified in E; G. Proximal articular view of MCF-PVPH 108–23 showing elongate articular surface irregularities (arrows); H. Mid-caudal neural arch (MCF-PVPH 108–90) in dorsal view showing location of erosion (arrow) on right prezygapophysis; I. Posterolateral view of lesion identified in H.
