The =sacrum= results from the early fusion of three vertebræ. It is
short, wide, and quadrangular. The spines are fused to form a median
crest, which is notched, however, between the summits of the spines. On
either side are two tubercles, vestiges of the fused articular
processes. The pelvic surface is deeply concave and presents two pairs
of foramina. The wings are prismatic and very high. Their lateral
surfaces are extensive, face almost directly outward, and bear an
auricular surface on the lower part. The anterior surface of the body of
the first vertebra is extensive, depressed in its middle, and bears a
prominent lip below. The anterior articular processes are large and have
extensive, slightly concave facets which face upward and inward. The
posterior articular processes are small. The transverse processes of the
last vertebra project backward and may articulate or fuse with those of
the first coccygeal. The sacral canal is strongly compressed
dorso-ventrally.
