Baculum? _Os penis_? Fused epipubes, I hear. Epipubes are not known from
*Ichthyostega* (or... AFAIK... any tetrapodomorph that isn't nearly or
completely a mammal*), but e. g. lungfish are said to have both epipubes and
hypischia, whatever that is, homology-wise. ~:-|

* In old literature you'll find one for *Apatosaurus*. That was Nopcsa's
interpretation of a disarticulated clavicle.

Ichthyornithids were recently said onlist not to have ones (I haven't
finished reading the famous dissertation...) -- but teratornithids???
They're getting real monstrous.
