An alternative reconstruction of the skull was proposed in 2024 by Valentin Buffa and colleagues, who reidentified many of the bones in Pritchard and Nesbitt's original reconstruction. Most notably, they did not identify any of the preserved bones as those of the rostrum and so could not confirm if

was indeed toothless. They also reinterpreted several of the bones around the eyes, namely identifying the maxilla as a jugal and the former jugal as a lacrimal. This noticeably decreases the size of the orbit from the original reconstruction. They also altered the position of the postorbital,

However, the most notable feature of AMNH FARB 30834 is its skull, which as initially reconstructed by Pritchard and Nesbitt shares many similarities with the skulls of modern birds. The snout is slender and tapering, similar to that of

AMNH FARB 30834 can be recognized as a drepanosaur due to several traits of its vertebrae. The articular surfaces of its vertebral centres are heterocoelous (saddle-shaped). The neural spines are

Multiple other drepanosaur vertebrae and limb fragments have also been found in the block, although it is unclear whether they belong to the same specimen as AMNH FARB 308344. 388:, these blocks are now known to contain a multitude of different Triassic reptiles.
