Differences in segmental first mass moments (FMM, calculated by multiplying segment mass by segment CoM distance from origin, located between the acetabula; normalized by body CoM times BM) in the three growth stages of Mussaurus, as estimated using the “average” spline-based models (Fig. 2). White, hatchling; grey, yearling; black, adult.
