This landmark was taken on the shaft just below the lesser trochanter, giving the minimum diameter of flattening.
Fore and mid coxae and trochanters pale.
Legs resembling those of £, but the spurs on coxae and trochanters less pronounced.
One lies over the lesser trochanter on the left side, another occupies the left pelvis posteriorily.
In order from the body they are the coxa, trochanter, femur, tibia, and tarsus.
The shaft of the femur is straighter and the fourth trochanter is more distally placed.
The lesser trochanter is a cone-shaped extension of the lowest part of the femur neck.
The iliopsoas runs across the iliopubic eminence through the muscular lacuna to its insertion on the lesser trochanter of the femur.
