). Premaxilla is anteroventrally projected and narrows anteriorly; incisor-bearing part contributes ~50% of the ventral length from the anterior tip to the premaxilla-maxilla suture; lateral surface slightly concave, ventral surface quite planar; dorsal and lateral surfaces of the anterior part are pockmarked with very small foramina. Incisive foramen large and elongate, with a tapering channel extending anterolaterally from the foramen in ventral view, roughly toward I2. Anterior margin of the premaxilla slopes moderately dorsoposteriorly before curving sharply dorsally to the nasal suture; dorsoposterior component (walls of nasal cavity) is tall and smoothly convex; ventral premaxilla-maxilla suture is angled posterolaterally; lateral premaxilla-maxilla suture extends straight dorsally before curving smoothly posteriorly toward the posterior of the nasal. Nasal elongate, gently dorsally convex transversely, and projected anteriorly to shared medial point. Buccinator fossa smoothly concave, quite deep and tall, extends dorsally from the ventral margin of the corpus below the diastema to level with the dorsal extremity of the infraorbital foramen, and from immediately anterior to P3/DP2 across the premaxilla-maxilla suture; height and depth smoothly decrease anteriorly. Infraorbital foramen large, opening anteriorly, transversely compressed, positioned dorsal to P3/DP2. Maxillary foramen (posterior to infraorbital canal) large and rounded, with a shallow channel extending posteriorly from the opening along the posterior of the maxilla. Sphenopalatine foramen very small, with a narrow channel that extends posteriorly from it, broadening near the foramen rotundum. The foramen rotundum is large and oval. Frontal has a concave lateral surface, with greatest concavity at the midpoint of the temporal fossa; dorsolateral margin flares increasingly laterally (forming the supraorbital crest) over the anterior of the orbit with age; suture with the parietal is level with or posterior to the posterior margin of the temporal fossa.

Lacrimal has two foramina on the anterodorsal margin of orbit; one is large, rounded, anteroventrally located, and abuts the midpoint of the anterior margin, the second is smaller and dorsoposteriorly located; both foramina with small crest bounding them dorsoposteriorly. Jugal increases in height posteriorly, before narrowing slightly posteriorly and bifurcating around the anterior tip of the zygomatic process of the squamosal into the postorbital process and an elongate posterior part; the dorsal margins of the suborbital jugal and the postorbital process are flattened and broad. A low, angular ridge extends from immediately posterior to the midpoint of the anterior margin of the jugal across the posterior part. Zygomatic process of the squamosal has a smoothly convex dorsal margin in lateral view, tilted medially to be slightly dorsal facing; lower and less tilted in juveniles. Ventral margin broadens posteriorly toward the glenoid fossa. Medial component of the squamosal is broadly convex and elongate; a low, angular ridge extends from the dorsoposterior base of the zygomatic process, borders the ventral margin of the subsquamosal, and extends dorsoposteriorly to the interparietal. Subsquamosal foramen is rounded, located immediately posterior to the dorsal surface of the base of the zygomatic process. Glenoid fossa broad and flat, abuts the postglenoid process posterolaterally. Postglenoid process moderately well-developed, narrows to a ventral point, and angled anterolaterally in ventral view, with the posteromedial component extending into and semi-fused with the anterior process of the ectotympanic to form a deep, anterior-facing ventral postglenoid foramen. Ectotympanic has a large, rugose anterior process projected ventral to and medial to the postglenoid process. External auditory meatus roughly cylindrical, angled dorsolaterally, not projected laterally beyond the margin of the anterior process of the ectotympanic and subequal in size.

: I1: broad, robust, arcuate, slightly anteroposteriorly compressed, with thick buccal enamel extending around to the edges of the lingual surface, receding from the lingual surface with age. Buccal surface smooth and gently convex. Occlusal surface oval, with buccal enamel forming a slight anterior lip; becomes anteroposteriorly deeper with age. The I2 is not known. I3: elongate, transversely compressed and roughly triangular in buccal view, with the buccal enamel width less than that of I1. A large, buccally gently convex main crest curves anterolingually to sit lingual to the posterior margin of the smaller anterobuccal crest; anterobuccal crest is around half the length of the main crest.

Mental foramen round to oval, opens laterally, positioned midway between the midpoint and dorsal margin of the lateral surface of the diastema, around one-third of the diastema length from the dp2/p3. Mandibular corpus tall, slightly deeper beneath m1 than m4. Buccinator sulcus distinct but quite shallow, extends along the buccal surface of the mandibular corpus, slightly ventral to and parallel to the three anteriormost cheek teeth. Digastric sulcus generally shallow and broad, situated on the ventral part of the lingual surface of the mandibular corpus, extending roughly from ventral to the base of the coronoid crest to ventral to m2/m3. Ascending ramus tall and quite robust, slightly concave laterally and convex medially. Coronoid crest angled around 7085° from transverse plane, smoothly convex anteriorly, ascends to rounded, anteroposteriorly short peak; some specimens with slight, rounded corner or elbow at midpoint.

Wings weakly developed in juveniles, relatively larger in adults; dorsoventrally compressed and slightly caudally deflected, with the cranial and caudal margins not extending past those of the cranial or caudal articular foveae. Cranial articular surfaces deep and strongly concave, dorsal margins are rounded, ventral margins come to a ventromedial rounded point; shallow fossa at the midpoint of the medial margin in juveniles, absent to very slight in adults. Caudal articular surfaces broad, flat to very slightly concave and angled roughly 40° medially from the sagittal plane, with the dorsal margin rounded; ventral section comes to a rounded ventromedial point; ventral margins relatively separate in juveniles, converging with age. Lateral vertebral foramen situated in a small, deep fossa on the dorsal surface of the arch at the cranial base of the wing, opening laterally (

: C5 is not known. The articulated neck is distinctly short relative to the width of the cervical vertebrae. The cervical vertebrae are roughly pentagonal in cranial view, with arches tilted cranially; centrum and arches very short relative to width; increasingly short toward C7. Cranial extremity of the centrum very broad relative to height, and slightly concave, particularly at the lateral margins, which are slightly cranially projected. Prezygopophyses small, not extending cranially past cranial extremity, with articular surfaces rounded in C3, becoming more elongate and oval toward C7, narrower than length and angled slightly to moderately medially; no ridge separates the articular surface from the dorsal surface of the arch. Spinous processes not preserved in entirety; bases narrow, becoming broader and slightly more cranially tilted towards C7. Vertebral canal low and rounded in C3, becoming taller toward C7 and approaching rounded-triangular in shape. Transverse processes mostly abraded; poorly developed in juveniles, becoming relatively broad and thickened with age; caudally deflected and craniocaudally short in C3, becoming decreasingly caudally deflected and slightly deeper toward C7; tubercle on the ventral base of the transverse processes is elongate, transversely thickened and ventrally projected in C6 such that the ventral margin of the centrum is concave in cranial view, with the tubercle broader, shorter, slightly pointed, more cranially situated and tilted cranially in C7. Postzygopophyses small, typically not extending beyond the caudal extremity of the centrum, with the articular surfaces slightly to moderately laterally tilted, roughly circular in C3, becoming slightly elongate and oval toward C67. Caudal extremity unprojected, very broad relative to height, flat in dorsal view, and very slightly convex around the lateral margins in caudal view.

: vertebrae craniocaudally short relative to width, with centra increasing in height and depth toward T14; diapophyses (fovea costales processus transversi) are short and robust in T13, migrating dorsally onto arch and becoming dorsally deflected by T7, becoming shorter and more robust in T1214 (situated dorsal to cranial articular facets in T12 only); caudal foveae large and dorsolaterally flared such that the caudal extremity appears heart-shaped in caudal view. T1: cranial extremity of the centrum unprojected, dorsoventrally very short relative to width, and very slightly concave; caudal extremity of the centrum unprojected, badly abraded in available specimens. Prezygopophyses small and short, with the articular facets circular to oval and tilted medially. The arch is low and robust. Spinous process tall, straight in lateral view, with parallel cranial and caudal margins, relatively thick at base and narrowing gently dorsally. The cranial margin of the ventral surface has deep, semicircular costal foveae (demifacets) for articulation with rib 1. Diapophyses slightly ventrally tilted.

: large to very large, made up of two or three robust, fused vertebrae; roughly triangular in dorsal view. Cranial extremity of the centrum is oval. The vertebral canal is roughly crescentic to reniform. Prezygopophyses fairly small, cranially projected with slight dorsal deflection; articular surfaces small, slightly craniocaudally elongate and facing dorsomedially; dorsal margins not preserved. Wings well-developed, sub-triangular in lateral view, expand toward lateral edges, particularly ventrally, and taper caudally; auricular surfaces tilted dorsally; a broad, rugose, deeply concave fossa is present on the dorsolateral surface of each wing. The median sacral crest (fused spinous processes) is not preserved. Transverse processes thicker in the cranial component, become more dorsoventrally compressed and flare laterally in the caudal component. Two large, round sacral foramina pass dorsoventrally through the sacrum at the synostoses of the fused S1 and S2 vertebrae. Postzygopophyses short, quite robust, projected caudolaterally, with the articular surfaces flat and rounded, angled ventrolaterally. The caudal extremity of the centrum is taller and more rounded than the cranial extremity.

: short, broad and robust. Centra: of Ca14 are broader than they are long; of Ca15 (proximal caudal vertebrae) are craniocaudally short, with slightly ventrally inclined cranial and caudal extremities; of Ca6 onward are straighter and more elongate; Ca912 (mid-distal caudal vertebrae) are quite short and robust, narrow to a waist. The vertebral canal is very low and broad in Ca2, becoming increasingly low toward Ca5, extremely small in Ca68 and absent in mid-distal vertebrae. Prezygopophyses: in Ca14 are large, laterally projected, dorsally deflected and distally flared, with articular surfaces angled dorsomedially and projected craniomedially; in Ca5, are large, dorsally deflected, and extend beyond the cranial extremity of the centrum; in Ca612, are increasingly reduced, as mammillary processes, without articular surfaces. Postzygopophyses: in Ca14, are relatively small and unflared distally with small, rounded articular surfaces; in Ca5, are very reduced, narrow, non-articular, that do not extend caudally beyond the caudal extremity; in Ca612, are increasingly reduced that shift caudally to abut the caudal margin as low, thin, parallel ridges in the distal vertebrae. Transverse processes: those of the proximal vertebrae are fractured and incomplete; on Ca1, are deep; on Ca2, very elongate laterally; become increasingly shorter craniocaudally and more caudally deflected towards Ca5; in Ca67, depth greater than width; in Ca8, very reduced cranial transverse processes; in Ca912, small, thick, and blunt, cranial processes relatively larger than caudal. Spinous processes: in Ca14 are rounded, increasingly small; very reduced or absent in Ca5 onward. Cranioventral processes: small, blunt, ventrally projected, first present on Ca6, are positioned close to the midline and curve gently mesially; become more mesially curved and taller, thicker, and more elongate relative to vertebrae distally.

: only the juvenile scapula is known, which is gracile and delicate. Lateral (humeral) component of the cranial border is very slightly concave. Infraspinous fossa partially preserved; appears significantly larger than the supraspinous fossa. Glenoid cavity oval and gently concave, with slight anteroposterior compression. Infraglenoid tubercule unprojected and slightly rugose, with a small, broad fossa present on the medial component. Scapular spine slightly cranially deflected in lateral view. Acromion incompletely preserved; interpreted as being quite elongate, broadening distally, with dorsolateral surface flat and broad. Scapular notch gently concave, with an angle of ~120°. Lateral component of the subscapular fossa planar to gently concave caudally, moderately concave beneath the scapular spine and becoming gently convex toward the cranial border.

Greater tubercule broad, projected marginally dorsal to articular surface of head. Lesser tubercule not preserved, base appears broad and rounded. Proximal shaft deep, deepening proximally; in cranial view, shaft possesses slight to moderate medial deflection, with axis situated across shaft at pectoral crest. Bicipital groove broad and shallow in juveniles, becomes deeper, slightly narrower and more distally extensive in adults. Pectoral crest thick, raised and slightly laterally tilted, situated at or just past the midpoint of the humeral shaft; becomes higher and more pronounced proximally with age. Deltoid tuberosity low in juveniles, becomes thicker, more rugose and slightly pointed in adults, situated on the lateral surface of the shaft, level with the proximal half of the pectoral crest. Insertion of m. latissimus dorsi located on the medial surface of the shaft opposite the deltoid tuberosity, marked by a small rugose area in juveniles and by a broad, shallow, irregularly shaped fossa in adults.

Facet for the hamatum rounded-triangular, smoothly and gently convex, pointed posteriorly, occupies the posterolateral surface, with a small, rounded fossa against the dorsoposterior margin. Facet for the scaphoid posteriorly flat, becomes taller and slightly concave anteriorly; covers posteromedial surface, posteriorly semicontinuous with hamatal facet. Facet for metacarpal III large, covers the anterior surface, subdivided into a semicontinuous smaller medial component and a larger lateral component for the medial and lateral processes of the posterior end of metacarpal III; both gently concave with a narrow, gently convex medial margin. A shallow, broad, oblong fossa is present beneath the metacarpal III facet on the anterior surface. The anteromedial surface is anteroposteriorly short, with a tall, concave facet for the medial component of the posterior facet of metacarpal II occupying the anterior component. Facet for the trapezium narrow and flat, on posteropalmar component of medial surface. Two fairly large, rounded, linked tubercles are situated against the anterior margin of palmar surface.

: articulates with the dorsoanterior surface of the palmar process of the scaphoid. Broad and roughly rounded in anterior view, with a large, pointed eminence against the lateral margin on the anterodorsal surface for articulation with the anteromedial surface of the trapezoid and with the dorsal component of the posterior surface of metacarpal I. The anteromedial component is broadly rounded. Facet for the scaphoid broad, and smoothly, deeply concave. Facet for metacarpal I has a larger, rounded medial component that continues laterally into a smaller, gently convex dorsolateral component on the pointed anterolateral eminence.

: ilium: robust, well-developed and roughly L-shaped in cross-section. Epiphysis of iliac crest not known; iliac crest thick and broad, aligned transversely; width gently increases to maximum at the iliac crest. Iliac fossa shallow, extends one-third of the length of the ischium in juveniles; deeper, more concave and extends distally three-quarters of the length of the ilium in adults. Gluteal fossa broad, deeply concave, narrows distally, extends to the iliac crest. Caudal iliac spine (tuber sacrale) arises rapidly on the caudal surface of the base of the ilium, opposite the rectus tubercule; thick and tall proximally for origin of a large mm. gluteus, becomes thinner and slightly lower distally, extends to the iliac crest. Sacral surface (articular surface for wings of sacrum) deep, thickened and craniocaudally aligned with a slight cranial tilt, surrounded by a rugose surface, abuts the caudoventral margin of the medial surface of the caudal iliac spine, projects cranially as a low ridge with a thin crest that forms the cranial iliac spine and contributes to depth of iliac fossa; extends to the cranioventral margin in older specimens. Lateral iliac spine broad, slightly thinner than the caudal spine, with the lateral margin gently concave and curved slightly laterally to the projected dorsolateral extremity of the iliac crest. Rectus tubercule large, rugose, roughly triangular, and gently narrowing cranially onto the lateral iliac spine; increases in relative size with age. Acetabulum large, tall and deeply concave, deepest in the ventral component; taller than craniocaudal depth; acetabular fossa deep, partially covered cranially and caudally by a lip that projects from the acetabular surface, and with the angle, width and curvature variable within individuals.

Dorsal cuboid facet has the medial part flat to gently concave and the lateral part flat to gently convex, such that the dorsal margin is slightly S-shaped in dorsal view; lateral component is laterally projected with its plantar margin tapering dorsally to a rounded point in proximal view;continuous plantomedially with the plantar cuboid facet. Proximal fossa shallow, abuts the proximal margin of the metatarsal V facet and the lateral margin of plantar cuboid facet. Plantar cuboid facet round to oval, slightly convex to concave, tilted slightly to sharply dorsomedially; situated opposite the proximal plantar sesamoid facet on the proximal surface of a thick, plantarly projected plantar tubercle. Facet for articulation with the plantolateral component of the ectocuneiform small, rounded, and medially tilted, situated on the proximal surface of the plantar tubercle, medial to and occasionally semicontinuous with the plantar cuboid facet.Proximal plantar sesamoid facet round to oval, flat to gently concave, facing plantolaterally to cranioplantarly. Articular surface for metatarsal III indistinct; situated in an elongate, rugose shallow fossa on the medial surface of the proximal end, bordered dorsally by a thin ridge extending distoplantarly from the dorsomedial corner of the dorsal cuboid facet. Dorsal facet for the ectocuneiform very small, on the medial surface of the proximal end, abuts the medial margin of the dorsal component of the dorsal cuboid facet. Facet for metatarsal V tall, proximodistally short; shape variable but generally oblong with rounded dorsal and plantar components; extending plantarly onto the lateral surface of the plantar tubercle.
