This is a closeup of the upper portion of the fossil skeleton cast of the South American "Terror Bird" Paraphysornis brasiliensis that I adapted and assembled for the Burke Museum in Seattle.

Again, thanks for sharing this striking display with us. This photo and its immediate predecessor emphasize three points of interest for me: (1) the number & prominence of those skull-lightening cavities I failed to notice when commenting on the head at first; (2) the rather vestigial scale of this bird's wings; and (3) that impressive-looking breastbone.
