Abstract

The purpose of this osteological study is to review previous descriptions, to describe any previously unidentified elements, and to record the dimensions of the elements present in these two specimens. With these data a comparison will be made with other specimens previously found. An attempt will be made to determine if the identification of Nyctosaurus gracilis (Marsh) and Trinacromerum osborni (Williston) are tenable genera and species and fully valid in the light of these studies of the excellent skeletal material available.
