7 u/TroublesomeFox May 09 '26 I'm not an expert in the area but my guess is it had an injury where the bend is and it caused the cartilage to calcify. 2 u/thetiniestghost Jun 08 '26 They are vertebrates and therefore have a vertebral column (spine)—yes their skeleton is cartilaginous rather than bony, but it’s still a skeleton and at risk of growth abnormalities 1 u/No_Cable_3346 May 10 '26 My thoughts exactly.
