However, the convexity on both sides of the apex is of different intensity, with the anterior portion being the weakest. Such a marked convexity for the iliac crest is not found in other dyrosaurids, and thus gives a unique appearance to the ilium of

Looking on the medial side of the ilium, it also appears that most of the area belonging to the pubic peduncle is scarred with attachment sites for the first sacral. Hence the important size of the sacral ribs could have had an influence on the relative size of the pubic peduncle. The anterior margin of the ilium connecting the preacetabular process to the pubic peduncle is short and relatively straight. The important size of the pubic peduncle also brings it closer to the preacetabular process.</paragraph>

, the anterior attachment site is composed of two distinct triangular indentations separated by a prominent ridge. Hence, the anterior-most portion is the widest whereas the posterior-most one is the tallest. The anterior attachment site as a whole stretches from the preacetabular process (at its mid-height) dorsally, up to the acetabular perforation posteriorly (almost encompassing the entire area of the pubic peduncle). Comparatively, the posterior attachment site is also well-developed, occupying a similar area in size than the anterior attachment site. A distinctive feature of

This hollow borne by the peduncle bridge and anterior peduncle forms the ventral portion of the acetabulum. There is a prominent rim separating the peduncle bridge in two asymmetrical halves, from which the thickness of the bone decreases dorsally.The rim stems from the anterior extremity of the posterior peduncle, and can be followed up until the dorsal extremity of the anterior peduncle. Overall, the rim takes the shape of a wide and concave parabola, and marks the ventral border of the bony acetabulum. In other dyrosaurids (i.e.

The overall outline of the articular facet of the posterior peduncle is preserved, revealing its relatively triangular outline which appears almost as long dorsoventrally (or mediolaterally) than it is anteroposteriorly. In parallel, the preservation state of the posterior peduncle allow us to take a peek at its junction with the ilium and the orientation of the articular facets involved: thus, the articular facet of the posterior peduncle seems tilted towards the ilium rather than dorsally oriented as in other dyrosaurids (i.e.
