...David R. Carrier; Rebecca M. Walter; David V. Lee SUMMARY The turning agility of theropod dinosaurs may have been severely limited by the large rotational inertia of their horizontal trunks and tails. Bodies with mass distributed far from the axis of rotation have much greater rotational inertia...

The median- and pectoral-fin-powered turns of O. meleagri s are slow relative to the body- and caudal-fin-powered turns of more flexible fish. Fig. 3.
