@TetZoo @DrOwenDavies @jimmadseni There _was_ that one Senter et al. study on this, and they came down on the side of "the dangle". Do I think their results are conclusive?

What people are saying
The debates highlight key points from the publication, such as the variability in scapular orientation among dinosaur groups and its importance for accurate reconstructions. Comments referencing previous studies like Senter et al. show analytical engagement, while questions about the conclusiveness of these findings signal a cautious but interested community reflecting on the study's implications.
The discussions show some support for the research but also question the conclusiveness of previous studies, reflecting a moderate agreement level.
Several comments demonstrate curiosity about the rest position of dinosaur limbs and the implications for reconstructions, indicating a mild to moderate interest.
Users reference previous studies and specific anatomical details, suggesting a reasonable level of engagement and familiarity with the topic.
The discussions hint at the importance of this research for dinosaur reconstructions, but the tone moreally questions its definitive influence rather than emphasizing it as transformative.
Abstract in brief
- This study analyzes the resting positions of dinosaur scapulae and forelimbs using data from articulated skeletons to improve accuracy in reconstructions and museum mounts.
- It finds that the orientation of the scapular blade varies among different dinosaur groups, being most horizontal in bipedal saurischians and most vertical in basal ornithopods, with other groups showing intermediate positions.
- The research offers guidelines for correctly positioning bones in restorations, revealing that most bipedal dinosaurs have a nearly right-angle elbow and slight wrist deviation at rest, with theropods showing more flexed joints.]
