Students use the clay to construct the element as it appears in a non-obligate biped, using the Element Reference Sheet for guidance. After constructing the non-obligate biped element, students make appropriate changes in order to transform the element into one resembling that of an obligate biped.

Individual fossil specimens are usually identified by an abbreviation indicating the name of the site from which the fossil comes and a number given to each fossil from the site. You may want to review the textbook descriptions of the modern human pelvis and ape pelvis, as well as descriptions of Australopithecine pelvis and feet.

For each trait listed on the previous page, color over the regions of the skeleton in the color corresponding to whether it is more similar to bipeds or quadrupeds. (For the foramen magnum, you can color beneath the skull since it is not visible in the drawing).
