. They display a range of different degree of preservational statuses, from very fragmentary to well preserved. The centrum is amphicoelous and pierced by a wide notochordal canal. Ventrally, the centrum bears a robust and high keel, which is more or less narrow (from sharp to slightly thicker). By the anterior and posterior ends, the keel expands into triangular and flat ventral surfaces. The keel is flanked by small subcentral foramina, sometimes more than one per side. Posteriorly, poorly-developed basapophyses are present. The neural arch is low, without a significant rising posteriorly, and dorsally flat. A neurapophysis is present, being either rather low or slightly higher. It runs almost entirely along the dorsal surface of the arch. The anterior margin of the arch appears straight in dorsal view, even though it is never completely preserved. It is located roughly at midlength of the prezygapophyses. The posterior margin is rather straight (but very slightly wavy, even though with no median notch) and ends well before the end of the postzygapophyses. By each side of the neurapophysis, the posterior end of the dorsal surface of the neural arch carries a well-developed spine, which projects well beyond the posterior margin, but not beyond the postzygapophyses. The spines are well spaced in dorsal view, not strongly extended anteriorly (they do not reach the level of the transverse processes) and not connected to the neurapophysis medially. The zygapophyses are suboval and almost horizontal. The ventral lamina has a subtrapezoidal shape, originated by very well-developed anterior ventral crests and less-developed posterior ones. The zygapophyseal crests are also well developed, but not as much as the anterior ventral crests. The posterior zygapophyseal crests are distinctly convex dorsally in lateral view. Due to the strong development of both the ventral lamina and the zygapophyseal crests, the vertebrae assume a wide appearance in both ventral and dorsal views. The transverse processes are reduced to a small single structure, which is slender and posterolaterally directed. Individualized

and diapophyses are not clearly discernible. A more-or-less large foramen is visible anterior to the base of the transverse process.
