Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. M. Holliday and N. M. Gardner 2012Large-sized eusuchians with raised, rugose integumentary boss on the dorsal surface of the parietal; parietal and squamosal meet along caudal wall of dorsotemporal fenestra; parietal not completely excluded from the occipital surface; supraoccipital is not exposed on dorsal skull table; laterosphenoid capitate processes are laterally oriented; ventral edge of squamosal groove for external ear flap musculature is lateral to the dorsal edge; squamosal posteromedial branch is posterolaterally oriented; depression for palpebral on anterodorsal surface of the prefrontal; paroccipital processes of squamosal bear a long process lateral to the cranioquadrate opening; postorbital bears a prominent anterolateral projection distinct from its dorsal corner; external auditory meatus fossa does not extend further than the posterior margin of the postorbital; postorbitosquamosal suture passes medially to the ventral skull table.
