Sue had no wishbone...

["Steve Brusatte" <dinoland@lycos.com>]

Hey,
I attended Peter Larson's talk at the Burpee Museum in Rockford last evening, 
and he spoke a bit on how he believes that the wishbone (furcula) constructed 
on Sue isn't a wishbone at all.  His reasoning is that it isn't curved like 
wishbones in birds and other theropods.  

I asked him exactly what he thought it may be, and he mentioned (possibly) a 
broken piece of gastralia.

Has anyone else given serious consideration to this view?  Has anything been 
published on it?  How about list-member views??

Steve
