<br />
It is a raised area of the [[ischium]] bone of the pelvis.<ref name="Romer1923">{{cite book|last1=Romer|first1=Alfred S. |year=1923|chapter=The Pelvic Musculature of Saurischian Dinosaurs|title=Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History|volume=48|pages=605-617}}</ref> It is the origin of muscles that attach to the femur and aid in running. These muscles are called M. [[pubo-ischio-femoralis externus]] 1 and 2 in [[crocodylia]]ns. In birds the muscles are called the M. [[obturatorius laterali]]s and M. [[obturatorius medialis]]. They insert on the [[greater trochanter]] of the [[femur]].<ref name="Hutchinson2001">{{cite journal|last1=Hutchinson|first1=John R.|year=2001|title=The evolution of femoral osteology and soft tissues on the line to extant birds (Neornithes)|journal=Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society|volume=131|pages=169-197}}</ref> See [[proximodorsal process]]<br />
