Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| B. Krebs 1965 | Rauisuchiden mit verlängerten Halswirbeln, mit einer sehr schlanken Scapula, einem caudal
nicht eingeschnittenen Coracoid, einem regelmässig ventrahvärts abgebogenen Pubis. Die Crista pectoralis befindet sich beim ersten Fünftel der Humeruslänge. | |
| S. Lautenschlager and J. B. Desojo 2011 | Ticinosuchus ferox differs from all other rauisuchian archosaurs by the combination of the following characters: antorbital fenestra tapers sharply anteriorly; maxilla with pronounced rostral ramus; maxilla with dorsoventrally expanded ascending process and fused medial interdental plates; centra of cervical vertebrae elongated and approximately twice as long as high; two sacral vertebrae; ventral margin of coracoid continuous (not interrupted by a notch or edge); pubis without distal expansion; postacetabular process of ilium with horizontal medial ridge; dorsal margin of ilium blade notably rounded and convex; ischia joined by a pronounced ventral crest, arrowhead-shaped and symmetrical anterior to mid-caudal osteoderms with a sharp and pronounced midline keel. |
