Abstract

A complete and fully articulated right pes of a centrosaurine ceratopsid from the Dinossaur Park Formation of Alberta, Canada provides important information regarding the structure and function of the pelvic limb in this group. A reconstructed centrosaurine foot with all data coming directly from actual specimens could be accurately modeled in three-dimensional morphospace and provide the basis of a digital atlas of the elements.
