Pendraig milnerae n. gen. n. sp.6 Spiekman et al. 2021 coelophysoid Holotype: NHMUK PV R 37591 - An articulated vertebral series and pelvic girdle comprising the two posteriormost dorsal vertebrae missing most of the neural spines, the three anteriormost sacral vertebrae and a small fragment of the centrum of the fourth sacral, a complete left ilium, a largely complete left pubis missing the distal end, a left ischium missing most of the distal portion, a largely complete right pubis missing the distal end, and a right ischium missing most of the dorsal and distal portions (field number P77/1). Additionally, a left femur was found disarticulated from the left hemipelvis in the same block (field number P76/1). It has been completely freed from the matrix and is confidently referred to the same individual as the vertebral column and pelvis. Referred material. NHMUK PV R 37596 (field number P83/1): A complete middle to posterior dorsal vertebra completely freed from matrix (figure 4). NHMUK PV R 37597 (field number P65/66b): the proximal end of a left ischium preserving the articular facet with the left ilium (figure 5). A counterslab to this specimen, listed as field number P65/66a and comprising the base of the distal portion and part of the proximal expansion of the ischium, was described and figured in the unpublished PhD thesis of Warrener.
