). The neurocentral sutures are completely co-ossified throughout the preserved portions of the cervical series (the first preserved neural arch is broken) and the trunk, sacral, and anterior caudal vertebrae are completely or partially co-ossified at the neurocentral sutures; only one side of the neurocentral suture is fully co-ossified in the posterior trunk vertebra. Co-ossification of the scapulocoracoids is complex; anteriorly it is complete, but a clear suture occurs posteriorly on the less element. No co-ossification occurs in this region on the right element.

, or to an otherwise unknown reptile from the quarry. However, it is clear based on its small size and other features, that this element is not that of a rhynchosaur, the most common archosauromorph from the locality. Yet, we cannot exclude the possibility that it could pertain to a different avemetatarsalian or other, unknown archosauriform. This bone, which forms the posterodorsal portion of the orbit, bears a complex sutural surface with the frontal that angles anterolaterally. The dorsal portion of the orbital margin is raised slightly relative to the rest of the element and is faintly rugose. A fossa on the posteromedial portion indicates that the postfrontal would have participated in the supratemporal fossa, but a contact surface at the posterior edge (either for the postorbital or parietal) indicates that the postfrontal did not participate in the supratemporal fenestra.

On the anterior cervical vertebrae, the posterior surfaces of the parapophyses are oval, the long axis oriented anteroposteriorly, whereas in the more posterior cervical vertebrae, the long axis is oriented posterodorsally. The anteroventral position of the parapophysis creates a concave surface medial to the structure, but lateral to the midline, in the first two preserved vertebrae. The parapophyses and diapophyses are separated throughout the series, though these structures converge posteriorly as the centrum shortens.

). Neural spines are expanded laterally at their dorsal margins, while the dorsal margins are nearly flat. The neural spines are slightly shorter (measured from their bases) than the centra are long. The neural spines shorten anteroposteriorly as their corresponding centra shorten posteriorly. The anterior edge of the neural spine slopes slightly anterodorsally in the more anterior elements, but not to the steep degree seen in aphanosaurs (

). Its disarticulation prevents its position within the cervical series from being assigned with certainty, but it appears to derive from the posterior portion of the series based on the positions of the capitulum and tuberculum. A sheet of bone on one side of the capitulum and the tuberculum may represent an anterior process, as is present in most archosauromorphs. The capitulum is broken, but a thin web of bone links it to the tuberculum.

The dorsal surface of the medial edge sometimes preserves a ridge, with a slight depression adjacent to it. Where exposed, the surface of the medial portions of the osteoderms is slightly rugose, but no interdigitating contact between elements is evident. In anterior view, the lateral portion of the osteoderms flexes slightly dorsally. In dorsal view, the lateral margin is rounded, with a greater lateral extent more posteriorly, and the posterior margin varies from rounded to straight; some osteoderm margins bear small projections, but the paưern is inconsistent.

). The shapes of more central osteoderms do not cluster as closely, varying more broadly across both principal components. Anterior osteoderms form a cluster between 0.00 and 0.15 along PC1, and 0.05 and -0.05 in PC2. Posterior osteoderms form a cluster between 0.00 and -0.15 along PC1, and show less variability along PC2, in a cluster between 0.00 and -0.05. This indicates that anterior osteoderm shapes typically show more variation along both PC1 and PC2, whereas the shape of the posterior osteoderms tends to vary along only PC1, and are less variable along PC2. Central osteoderms show higher variability along both PC1 and PC2, more so than either the anterior or posterior osteoderms. Central osteoderms form a cluster mainly between 0.05 and -0.10 along PC1, and between 0.05 and -0.05 along PC2. Two major outliers (central osteoderms 5 and B) cause the central osteoderms to show high deviation in shape, occupying more of the graph space along PC1 and PC2.

Interestingly, mirrored paired osteoderms (taking into account the slight staggering of the less and right osteoderm columns) plot relatively distantly from each other in PCA space (by a similar length), despite being similar to one another in anatomy. In this case, the mirrored pairs are between osteoderms 3 and A, 5 and C, and 6 and D.

Rather, anterior and posterior osteoderms show liưle variability, and plot separately within the PCA space. Central osteoderms are much more variable, and can overlap in morphology with either the anterior or posterior osteoderms.

). These osteoderms may have belonged to the anterior portion of the neck dorsal to the vertebrae, given that this part of the neck is slightly disarticulated and the morphology of these osteoderms closely matches the more anterior osteoderms in the articulated cervical series. These osteoderms are triangular, and this triangular shape becomes posterolaterally extended anteriorly. These three osteoderms have long and tapered anterior processes near their medial edges; their posterolateral portions broaden, as in the articulated neck osteoderms. A deep, anteroposteriorly oriented groove lies near the medial edge, probably the articulation surface for the long anterior process, reminiscent of the groove on the ventral surface of the cervical osteoderms (observed through CT data) discussed earlier. The medial surface, thickest dorsoventrally, is covered by a system of ridges and grooves, probably marking the midline and contact surface with its antimere osteoderm.

Nevertheless, we do recognize the possibility that another, currently unknown reptile taxon (e.g. an aetosauriform) could be the source of this single osteoderm. Given the highly divergent shape of this osteoderm relative to of all others known from this locality, its position and anatomical directions are unknown. Accordingly, we employ the anatomical orientation of a typical paramedian aetosaur osteoderm, given their general similarities (

). This rectangular osteoderm is about twice as wide as long, with a distinct bend just off the mediolateral centre. The presumed anterior edge of the dorsal surface bears a flat lamina across its entire edge. The dorsal surface is ornamented; small dimples are present near the apex, and the medial and lateral portions bear more elongated grooves and rounded ridges. This isolated osteoderm is consistently thick dorsoventrally throughout its body. Its ventral surface is smooth and concave.Overall, this osteoderm is aetosaur-like in form, the presence of an anterior articulation surface (=anterior bar, anterior lamina) being rather rare among archosauriforms. The ornamentation of this osteoderm also is similar to small-bodied aetosaurs (e.g. Small and Martz 2013).

The neural spine of the posterior trunk vertebrae lies dorsal to the posterior half of the centrum as in the other trunk vertebrae. The anteroposterior length of the neural spine is just short of the anteroposterior length of the centrum in the posterior trunk vertebrae. The mediolaterally thin neural spine expands laterally, anteriorly, and posteriorly at its dorsal margin. In dorsal view, the dorsal surface of the neural spine is nearly flat, and slightly rugose. The anterior edge of the neural spine is dorsoventrally straight, whereas the posterior margin is posterodorsally oriented.

The neural canal, the largest of all the vertebrae, is oval in outline, with a long, dorsoventrallyoriented axis. The ventral portion of the neural canal excavates the body of the centrum.

), from the anterior portion of the series, as suggested by its large, well-developed transverse processes and the lack of chevron facets on the posteroventral portion of the centrum. The neural spine is broken at its base, but this vertebra is otherwise complete. This centrum is amphicoelous and longer than tall, with distinct fossae on the lateral surface ventral to the transverse processes. Ventrally, a small depression occurs on the midline near the posterior portion, but no depression is present anteriorly. A fused caudal rib/transverse process links the centrum with the fused neural arch. Here, a distinct rim circumscribes the transverse process, but no suture is evident; this rim marks where the caudal rib has completely fused to the rest of the vertebra. The wing-like transverse processes project laterally, having a small posterior component; in anterior view they curve very slightly ventrally towards their tips. The right transverse process appears to expand anteroposteriorly at its lateral margin. A rugose surface is present on the dorsal surface of both transverse processes about halfway to their lateral terminations. The rugose surface is larger anteriorly and decreases in size posteriorly.

In lateral view, there is a slight depression dorsal to the supra-acetabular crest, between the anterior and posterior processes. The posterior process tapers to a rounded posterior termination. The ventral edge of the posterior process is expanded medially into a shelf on the medial surface. In ventral view, this shelf is slightly concave and is reminiscent of the brevis fossa or shelf present in avemetatarsalians (e.g.

A distinct scar, as confirmed by the preserved first primordial sacral vertebra (see above), occurs on the anterior process of the ilium, nearly reaching the anterior end of this process. The posterior edge of the first sacral rib scar meets the anterior edge of the second sacral rib scar. The laưer tapers posteriorly and meets the anteroposteriorly oriented medial ridge. Based on this scarring, the second sacral rib appears to have articulated with both the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the medial ridge, the articulation extending to within
