In Archosaurs was originally a possible insertion site for the m. iliofemoralis externus (Hutchinson 2001). In more derived dinosaurs this becomes a distinct process possibly providing the attachment surface for mm. iliotrochanteri in addition to m. iliofemoralis externus (Carrano and Hutchinson 2002)
