The condyle is large and oval. In dorsal view the vertebra is longer than wide with a well-marked interzygapophyseal constriction. The neural spine is relatively strong, high and long. The zygosphene is wide, and its anterior border is slightly concave. The prezygapophyseal particular facets are elongated and subtriangular. The prezygapophyses are long and pointed posterolaterally. In ventral view, the centrum has a slightly rounded triangular shape. The paradiapophyses are well-developed and protrude anteriorly from the centrum. The haemal keel is well-defined and expands posteriorly past the condyle and has two small subcentral foramen on each side. In anterior view, the zygophene is wide, slightly convex dorsally and concave ventrally. The neural canal is narrow, and its anterior edge is U-shaped. There are two small paracotylar foramina. The prezygapophyses extend dorsally and the prezygapophyseal accessory process is blunt and project dorsolaterally. In posterior view, the neural canal is wide with a U-shaped posterior edge. The postzygapophyses are laterally tilted. In lateral view, the neural arch starts to rise dorsally on the anterior edge, post the zygophene it is rectangular in shape.

. The two other contexts present a different picture. The European Glass Lizard is by far the most common species in bedrock basin C-XXIII, possibly representing a whole specimen (evident by the representation of almost all body parts). The Glass Lizard is followed by the Eastern Montpellier Snake, the Rough-tail Rock

to the west. Similar squamate and amphibian taxa were identified in the EWT assemblage, but their relative abundances differed. The most commonly identified species in the assemblage as a whole was the European Glass Lizard, followed by the Large Whip Snake and the Eastern Montpellier Snake. Unlike the Raqefet assemblage, the viper, the third most common species in Raqefet Cave, is rare in the EWT assemblage (2% of the total assemblage;

The mean centrum length of the vertebrae of B5 Niche is considerably smaller than all other samples (Tukeys Q p &lt;0.05) and especially compared to Mortar C-XXIII. This pattern is again repeated at EWT where the Loc. 25 sample presents the smallest animals (
