). No neural arches or ribs were found in association with the centra. The centra are very closely spaced (i.e., only a relatively thin fine-sediment matrix fills the intervertebral space) and aligned along their anteroposterior axes, a pattern which likely represents their original anatomical connection. The centra are divided into two blocks. The largest block (

long) is composed of three centra, one of which is missing its left ventral part. A single incomplete centrum was found in the same area but isolated from the two blocks. All centra appear slightly tilted to one side and shifted relative to each other. The left surfaces of the centra are better preserved than their right counterparts, a preservation artifact which might indicate that the vertebrae were partially exposed and suffered some degree of erosion prior to their discovery. As a consequence, only the left apophyses are preserved. The centra are anteroposteriorly short, displaying a distinct amphicoelous appearance. A synapophysis is present and placed in the lateroventral surface. Most centra show a distinct suture for the neurocentral pedicels on their dorsal surface, crossed longitudinally by the floor of the neural canal. The neurocentral pedicel facets appear narrower and longer in the anterior vertebrae and become more oval in the posterior ones. No subcentral foramina or haemal arch facets are present. The centrum height (
