progressively taller as they approach the dorsal vertebrae. The hypapophysis of the cervicals are knob-like. The first two dorsal vertebrae are similar in shape to the cervicals with strongly compressed neural spines. The neural spine of the 3rd dorsal is blade like with a knob on the dorsal tip and the hypapophysis is prominent with a stronger keel than the other vertebrae. The 4th dorsal vertebra is the last with a distinct hypapophysis and the first with the parapophysis is entirely located on the neural spine. The posterior dorsal vertebrae are marked by massive centra and short transverse processes. The neural spines of the posterior dorsal vertebrae progressively grow shorter and anteroposteriorly elongated. The single preserved saccral is stout. The first caudal vertebra lacks a neural spine while the anterior vertebra possesses a tall spines and short transverse processes. The other caudals are from more posterior regions of the tail and notably elongated with relatively high neural spines. 28 ribs from various areas of the skeleton are known. Of the pectoral girdle and forelimbs both scapula is known, the left is complete while of the right only the distal end has been found. Neither coracoid is known. The left humerus is known as well as the shaft of the right. The shaft of the humerus is almost straight and slender, but the curvature of the proximal head and distal condylar region give the bone an overall sigmoid shape. Further material includes a complete left ulna and the distal three fourths of the right ulna, elements of both radius, complete left radiale and ulnare as well as distal phallanges and metacarpals. From the pelvic girdle the complete right ilium has been preserved as well as both ischia, however both are damaged. The articular area for the pubis is well developed. The pubis had a tear-drop shaped articular surface for the pubis and a more blade-like distal end. The femora, tibiae and fibulae resemble those of modern crocodilians. The pes are known from the right calcaneum and 2 distal metatarsals.
438:, in which the antorbital fenestra is almost entirely located within the lacrimal. Along the contact with the prefrontals the lacrimals swell to form the posterolateral portion of the prominent rostral ridge. The posteromedial portion is formed by the elongated prefrontals. The frontal is broad between the orbits and narrows significantly between the prefrontals before making contact with the nasals. It only extends slightly between the supratemporal fenestrae. The medial wall and floor of the supratemporal fenestrae is made up by the parietal. In specimen FMNH PR 2448 the lateral edges of the fenestrae are strongly everted, creating a narrow medial groove. This feature however seems to vary between specimen, as FMNH PR 2389 is flat in comparison. A thin lamina of the parietal overhangs the posterior and medial edge of the supratemporals. The dentary has 14 alveoli on each half, the biggest of which being the 4th and the 9th. The first dentary tooth is elevated above the others. 432:
evenly sized amongst themselves before the 10th and 11th (and potentially 12th) would have marked a further decrease in size. There is a notable diastema located between the 4th and 5th maxillary alveoli, most likely to make space for a large dentary tooth. Medially to the antorbital fenestra the maxilla forms a prominent ridge that runs laterally to the maxillary nasal contact. The nasals are fused, however it is uncertain if they reached up to the external nares. The nasals did not contact the lacrimal, which is anteriorly bifurcated and forms most of the posterior edge of the antorbital fenestra, a condition also seen in

Of the postcranial skeletal several elements are known. The holotype preserves 5 cervical vertebrae, thought to be the 1st to 4th and 5th postaxial cervicals which are amphicoelous to slightly amphiplatyan in shape. The intercentrum is wider than long and the neural spine of the cervical grows
