The lateral line is well preserved, especially on left half of the plate, and is visible from the left anterior corner, close to the upper margin and border with median dorsal plate for about one-third of its length, and then turns and extends onto the right margin in approximately the middle of the plate. The posterior part of this plate is still covered by the matrix, and the most posterior margin lies under the anterior part of the median dorsal plate. The course of the lateral line is additionally marked with a longitudinal arrangement of tubercles.
