This article is part of WikiProject Animal anatomy, an attempt to organise a detailed guide to all topics related to animal anatomy apart from human anatomy.

Links to definitions in the glossary may be added in other articles and pages using Template:Dinogloss – {{Dinogloss}} – in the form {{Dinogloss|term}}. This will work for exact terms or phrases defined in the glossary, or those anchored to a definition. If a term you wish to link is not already defined or anchored in the glossary, you can pipe a link to a definition, in the form: {{Dinogloss|actual term|display term}}. See the template's documentation for more information.
Since I'm quite familiar with this anatomical trait, being a frequent spinosaurid editor, I added in an entry for it. Hope it's not too shabby, feel free to make changes if there's anything I missed or got wrong. ▼PσlєοGєєкƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ▼18:10, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate terms
I'm adding some alternate versions as I write along in Xixiasaurus (the first article where I've added links to the dinogloss from the beginning), and while adding the plural of some terms, I noticed that most of the terms don't have the original Latin and Greek words as alternates. We should add these too, right? Both in singular and plural too... FunkMonk (talk) 21:14, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I left them out because they are not commonly used in dinosaur research. I felt that this glossary should reflect the terminology that is actually used in the field, and not the terminology of other disciplines; I feared that the ability of the glossary to document dinosaur terminology would diminish if these forms are included. But I also see your point and will give it another thought; also happy to hear more opinions. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 23:08, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
