199:. However, in 1963, Rainer Zangerl reported additional large shoulder girdle elements Case did not mention, indicating that the specimen had likely been prepared further since Case's description. Zangerl also suspected that multiple individuals were represented in the material assigned to UW 5485, noting in particular the gastralia; in 1991 Glenn Storrs noted that some isolated elements cataloged with this specimen were duplicates of those in the main skeleton. Furthermore, due to the limestone blocks not all fitting together, Zangerl suspected that parts of the specimen had been lost, but Glenn Storrs demonstrated in 1991 that this was not the case. 474:, are long and extend outwards and downwards. The tail vertebrae have constricted, cylindrical bodies. Those close to the hips are not very elongated, though they become increasingly elongated towards the tip of the tail. From the base to the tip of the tail, the shape of the neural spines changes from quadrangular to round and reclined to absent. The first 14 tail vertebrae bear caudal ribs, which resemble longer, unexpanded sacral ribs. The caudal ribs are either fused or very firmly attached to the vertebrae. V-shaped bones known as 514:. The front edge of the scapula has an undualting profile, while the scapular blade is slender and backswept. There is a notch between the blade and the thick, rough portion of the scapula involved in the shoudler joint. The coracoids are a pair large, subrectangular, plate-like bones, with weakly concave front and back edges. There are no notches on the coracoids, which are thickest where they meet along the midline. The shoulder joint is somewhat inclined forwards. The coracoids have dense bone structure and in life would have had 31: 269:
four partial skeletons and additional isolated remains, were also recovered, though they had not yet been prepared. FMNH PR480 had not been fully prepared either, though Zangerl still considered the available information important enough and the preparation difficult enough to publish preliminary research.

510:. As preserved, the interclavicle appears to be small and triangular, concave in front and pointed at the back. The shape of the clavicles suggest that there may have been long projections from the sides of the interclavicle. The remainder of the shoulder girdle consists of the sturdy scapulae and 1003:. The nasals are located on top of the snout and are quite extensive, reaching far back on the skull roof. The frontals form both the front edges of the supratemporal fenestrae and the terraces in front of them. The remainder of the rims of the supratemporal fenestrae are formed by bones known as 417:. There are especially large teeth at the front of the lower jaw, splayed outwards and to the front, while those below the maxillae are smaller and upright. The teeth are pointed and recurved, with striations running from their tips to their bases. There are no cutting edges on the teeth. The 798:
