| Name: | pectoral fin skeleton |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | |
| Definition: | Skeleton that consists of the supporting endochondral proximal and distal radials and the dermal fins rays or lepidotrichia. The pectoral fin skeleton is located in the thoracic region of the body and articulates with the scapula and coracoid. |

| Name: | has fewer parts of type |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | decreased number of, has decreased number of, has fewer physical parts of type |
| Definition: | The bearer of this quality has_part < n AND has_part > 0 of the indicated entity type, where n is the normal amount for a comparable organism. Note that the bearer of the quality is the whole, not the part. Formally: If a bearer entity e has fewer parts of type X at time t, then the number of instances x of X at t such that x part_of e is < n, where n is either the normal number for comparable entities, or n is stated explicitly. |

| Name: | lepidotrichium |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | fin ray, lepidotrichia |
| Definition: | Dermal bone that is rod-like, formed and usually contained in a fin membrane, and jointed to or adjacent to distal radials. They are bilaterally paired. Lepidotrichia are formed from paired hemitrichia surrounding actinotrichia. There are usually two more lepidotrichia than distal radials. |
