4: 1/2001 Turtle Joint: three trunk vertebrae (Pal. 1451-1453); 2/2003 Reptile Joint: five trunk vertebrae (Pal. 1951-1955).
DESCRIPTION
Trunk vertebrae
The preserved trunk vertebrae are too fragmentary. Their massive structure, combined with the wide haemal keel as well as the absence of paracotylar foramina enables assignment only to the indeterminate ‘Booidea’.
