Capitulum of the humerus the distal end. In non-avian archosaurs, including crocodiles, the capitellum and the trochlea are no longer bordered by distinct etc.- and entepicondyles respectively, and the distal humerus consists two gently expanded condyles, one lateral and one medial, separated by a shallow groove and a supinator process. Romer (1976) homologizes the capitellum in Archosauromorphs with the groove separating the medial and lateral condyles. In birds, where forelimb anatomy has an adaptation for flight, its functional if not ontogenetic equivalent is the dorsal condyle of the humerus.

Bone marrow the umbilical cord. The earliest fossilised evidence of bone marrow was discovered in 2014 in "Eusthenopteron", a lobe-finned fish which lived during the Devonian period approximately 370 million years ago. Scientists from Uppsala University and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility used X-ray synchrotron microtomography to study the fossilised interior of the skeleton's humerus, finding organised tubular structures akin to modern vertebrate bone marrow. "Eusthenopteron" is closely related to the early tetrapods, which ultimately evolved into the land-dwelling mammals and lizards of the present day. Bone marrow Bone marrow is a semi-solid tissue which may be found within the spongy or
