Answer 2

Interclavicles shape in reptiles:

All reptiles have a solitary mid-line bone that supports the pectoral support. Among early fossil reptiles, present day reptiles and crocodilians this single mid line bone is known as the interclavicles.

During the advancement of turtle whose relationship to different reptiles remains a subject of discussion, the interclavicles was incorporated into the plastron, which is the ventral part of the shell.

The improvement of this character at the base of Lepospondyli is uncertain on the grounds that the interclavicle of adelogyrinids and nectrideans does not have a parasternal procedure.
