Gout is recognized in the absence of urate crystals by the presence of periarticular spherical lesions and smooth perilesional bone growth forming a characteristic overhanging "lip." This finding identifies gout in the Ornithomimosauria for the first time, confirming gout was present in theropods outside of the Tyrannosauridae. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin, v.53, p. 166-168 | Publisher: | New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1524-4156 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 060399 Evolutionary Biology not elsewhere classified 040308 Palaeontology (incl Palynology) 060301 Animal Systematics and Taxonomy |
