Pygostyle : ウィキペディア英語版
:''Pope's nose''' redirects here. It may also refer to the licence plate light on early Volkswagen Beetles.'''''Pygostyle''' describes a skeletal condition in which the final few caudal vertebrae are fused into a single ossification, supporting the tail feathers and musculature. In modern birds, the rectrices attach to these. The pygostyle is the main component of the '''uropygium''', a structure colloquially known as the '''parson's nose''', '''pope's nose''', or '''sultan's nose'''. This is the fleshy protuberance visible at the posterior end of a bird (most commonly a chicken or turkey) that has been dressed for cooking. It has a swollen appearance because it also contains the uropygial gland that produces preen oil.==Evolution==Pygostyles probably began to evolve very early in the Cretaceous period, perhaps 140-130 million years ago. The earliest known species to have evolved a pygostyle were members of the Confuciusornithidae.
