Description: The pelvis (hip) of Marasuchus lilloensis. This is a reversed view of the right hemipelvis of specimen PVL 3870. Arrow indicates anterior direction and scale bar equals 5 mm. Numbers indicate character states scored in the data matrix. Character state scores = 457-1: Acetabular antitrochanter present. 460-2: Preacetabular process of the ilium present, longer than 2/3 of its height, and not extending beyond the front edge of the pubic peduncle. 466-2: Concave dorsal margin of the iliac blade. 470-1: Pubis-ischium contact present and reduced to a thin proximal contact. 472-1: Total length of the pubis 3.94-4.87 times longer than the anteroposterior length of the acetabulum. 473-1: Recessed anterior and posterior portions of the acetabular margin of the pubis. 476-1: Rod-like, posteriorly curved pubic shaft. 483-1: The ischium's articular surfaces with the ilium and pubis are separated by a fossa.
