Obturator process

The obturator process is an anatomical feature on the pelvis of archosaurs.

It is a raised area of the ischium bone of the pelvis.

[1] It is the origin of muscles that attach to the femur and aid in running.

These muscles are called M. pubo-ischio-femoralis externus 1 and 2 in crocodylians.

They insert on the greater trochanter of the femur.
