Functional implications of a singular penguin scapula (Aves, Sphenisciformes) from the Eocene of Antarctica

Penguins have peculiar modifications in their skeletal anatomy as a consequence of their extremely specialized diving habit. Morphological specialization is particularly evident in the forelimb. However, the kinematics of the pectoral girdle appears to be key to the locomotion of penguins. Penguin s...
