Lingual crest low, undulating in lingual view, with a single low, smoothly rounded peak near the anterior margin; crest extends posteriorly, from or slightly posterior to the lingual base of the anterior cusp, to merge into the posterolingual peak; lingually borders a broad lingual basin, which is perpendicularly transected by three very low, indistinct ridgelets, roughly opposing the buccal ridgelets. Posterior cuspule broad and posteriorly rounded. Main posterior peak quite tall and rounded, continuous with the main crest, which extends and broadens posteriorly to merge with the low transverse posterior crest. Posterolingual peak rounded, lower than the main peak, linked to the main crest by a thin transverse crest that anteriorly borders the posterior basin. A small posterior basin sits between the main and posterolingual peaks, posteriorly bordered by the transverse posterior crest; removed by a small amount of wear.

Mandibular symphyseal plate large and elongate, extends along the entirety of the anterior dentary to abut the posterior margin of i1. Mental foramen round to oval, opens dorsolaterally to anterodorsolaterally, located roughly one-fifth of distance from dp2/p3 to i1 and around one-quarter of distance from the diastema to the ventral margin. Mandibular corpus height generally subequal below p3 and m4, with the width at a minimum ventral to m1 and increasing gently posteriorly. Digastric sulcus shallow and broad, extends from beneath the posterior of the molar row to adjacent to the anteroventral margin of the medial pterygoid fossa. Buccinator sulcus distinct but quite shallow, extends along the buccal surface of the mandibular corpus with a slight ventral tilt posteriorly, slightly ventral to the threefour anteriormost cheek teeth.

: moderately craniocaudally short, quite broad and robust. Dens short, blunt and gently dorsally deflected. Cranial articular surfaces broad and convex; angled laterally and slightly dorsally.Arch mostly crushed or absent in available specimens; appears thick and quite low. Vertebral canal roughly oval and gently domed. Spinous process crushed and caudally abraded, appears quite tall, thin and tilted slightly cranially, with gently convex dorsal margin and cranial extremity projecting past cranial margin of arch. Postzygopophyses fairly small and flared slightly laterally, caudally projected beyond caudal extremity of the centrum and subequally to the caudal extremity of the transverse processes; articular surfaces very slightly concave and facing caudoventrally, with a moderate lateral tilt. Transverse processes quite thick and long, with a strong caudal and slight ventral deflection. Ventral surface of the centrum broad, with a slightly raised medial ridge. Caudal extremity of the centrum incompletely preserved; gently caudally and ventrally projected and slightly dorsally tilted, with a rounded ventral margin.

: robust; centrum short and broad, narrows to a waist; ventrolateral surfaces concave and laterally tilted, with the ventral margin concave in lateral view. Cranial extremity of the centrum gently convex and rounded with a flattened dorsal margin, slightly taller than the caudal extremity. Caudal extremity of the centrum gently concave and broadly rounded with a flattened dorsal margin. Vertebral canal quite low, broad and domed in cranial view. The prezygopophyses and spinous process are completely abraded. Transverse processes mostly abraded; bases highly dorsoventrally compressed, ventrally deflected and situated on the cranial part of the lateral surfaces. Postzygopophyses almost entirely abraded, bases appear thickened and robust. The base of a small anapophysis is present on the arch ventrolateral to the base of the postzygopophysis; transversely compressed and slightly caudally deflected, with a low ridge extending cranially from the base.

Iliac fossa shallow craniomedial to the rectus tubercle, becomes shallower dorsally along the cranioventral surface of the ilium; extends around three-quarters of the length of the ilium. Gluteal fossa broad and moderately concave, particularly around the midpoint; extends to the iliac crest. Caudal iliac spine arises on the medial surface of the base of the ilium, opposite the rectus tubercule, thickens and rises rapidly, extends to the iliac crest; thick and deep ventrally for the origin of a large mm. gluteus, steadily becomes thinner and slightly shallower distally. Sacral surface large, very rugose and concave; articular surface for the wings of the sacrum deep and shelf-like with a strong cranial tilt; cranial margin of the sacral surface projects cranially in a broad, low ridge with a slight crest (cranial iliac spine) and contributes to the depth of the iliac fossa. Lateral iliac spine very broad, thin relative to the caudal spine; lateral margin slightly concave and curving laterally. Rectus tubercule quite rugose, roughly triangular, narrows strongly onto the lateral spine.

Calcaneal tuberosity short, broad and low, broadens plantarly and caudally, increases slightly in height caudally; domed in cross-section; lateral surface becomes deeply concave plantar to the fibular facets. Caudal epiphysis broad, thickened and rugose, oval to domed in posterior view; a shallow transverse groove extends across the caudal surface. Plantar surface thickened, rugose and quite broad, tapers gently cranially in plantar view and extends cranially to level with the cranial fibular facet, with the craniomedial margin deflected laterally around the cranial plantar tubercle. Cranial plantar tubercle generally small, rounded to oval, abuts or is caudally adjacent to the plantar margin of the plantomedial facet for the cuboid.

: fairly short, robust, and dorsoplantarly compressed. Proximal articular surface mostly abraded in available specimen, appears domed and gently concave. Proximal plantar tubercles partially abraded, appear low and rugose, separated by a shallow valley. Shaft narrows slightly to a waist, broadens very slightly to the distal end. Distal articular surface proximodorsally quite extensive; trochlea broad and quite shallow. Fossae for the collateral ligaments shallow and semicircular.
