Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. M. Albino 1996 | "Trunk vertebrae small. Neural arch depressed. Neural spine low, thing and long. Zygosphene thin and wider than the cotyle. Zygapophyses slanting. Prezygapophysial processes reduced. Neural canal relatively large and subtriangular. Vertebral centrum short and widened anteriorly. Haemal keel clearly distinct and prominent, sometimes almost like a short hypoapophysis, or poorly developed and wide, depending on the position of the vertebra within the column. No paracotylar foramen. Synapophyses small, not surpassing the lower edge of the cotyle. Di- and parapophysial surfaces not markedly distinct from one another. (pg. 421)" |
