fused/unfused scap/coracoid



I notice in some primitive diapsids (Protorsaurus and kin) that the scapula and 
coracoid are fused. This pair becomes unfused then fused again a few times in 
daughter taxa. Any thoughts on why this does or doesn't happen, especially in 
these early diapsid sprawlers?
