This has prevented comparison of individual elements to other pseudosuchian taxa, and many features cannot be scored into phylogenetic analyses. As a result, the phylogenetic position is poorly supported in the few analyses in which it has been included (e.g.,

Unfortunately, the blocks with skull elements appear to have been reassembled incorrectly. The skull must have been split longitudinally when collected, and a portion of the right side was placed incorrectly posterior to the left side of the skull (see fig. 9). This is apparent because the specimens from the ‘‘Grenzbitumen’’ horizon were collected in pieces, then reassembled later (Furrer, personal commun.). The medial surface of the right maxilla is exposed laterally, and there is a large gap between the anterior and posterior portions of the skull. Once this incorrectly placed piece is removed and the anterior and posterior portions of the skull are brought back together, the skull becomes much shorter (see fig. 9). Parts of the skull that were not originally identified include the left frontal and postfrontal in ventral view, the left parietal in lateral view, an upside-down left prearticular in medial view, the impression of the left angular, the left nasal in ventral view, and?left lacrimal in?medial view (see fig. 9).</paragraph>

A small collection of fish scales is present at the base of the tail posterior to the ilium and the proximal portion of the ischium. The three-dimensional structure consists of a tan matrix with randomly oriented fish scales (fig. 10D–E). Even though there are a few fish scales located throughout the matrix in which
