where you read or heard that clavicles were identified as interclavicles in
those times. I happen to be writing an essay on the topic, and I would probably
need a reference I could cite.
Osborn (1924) was the first to describe a theropod
specimen with furcula preserved (Oviraptor philoceratops) and identified it
as an interclavicle. He writes, "The interclavicle lies near its union
with the extremely long and slender scapula."
OSBORN, H.F. (1924). Three new Theropoda, Protoceratops zone,
central Mongolia. Amer. Mus. Novitates 144, 1-12 (Oviraptor,
Velociraptor, Saurornithoides)
