Description

ON A NEW DINOSAUR FROM THE ISLE OF WIGHT.
55
5. On the Dorsal Region of the Vertebral Column of a new
Dinosaur (indicating a new Genus, Sphenospondylus), from the
Wealden of Brook in the Isle op Wight, preserved in the
WOODWARDIAN MUSEUM of the UNIVERSITY of CAMBRIDGE. By
Prof. H. G. Seeley,F.R.S., F.G.S., &c, Professor of Geography
in King's College, London. (Read June 21, 1882.)
This small series of six vertebral bones is remarkable for the great
lateral compression of the centrum and the depressed form of the
neural arch, and, as exhibiting the characters of the dorsal region in
a new generic type, seems to me worthy of some notice.

b. Facet for head of rib.
ty. Transverse process.
The centrums of the vertebras have an average length of 9 cen-
tim. each ; the transverse width of the articular faces is about 7 cen-
tim., with a vertical depth of at least 8 centim. ; but the lower part
of the centrum is much compressed from side to side, so as to have a
wedge form, and terminates inferiorly in a sharp longitudinal ridge.
The articular margins of the centrums are moderately elevated. The

transverse processes of the neural arch are at first directed back-

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
