Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. W. A. Kellner et al. 2009Mesoeucrocodylian with the following combination of characters that distinguish it from
other members of this group: strong size variation of dentary teeth; comparatively small anterior rounded alveoli followed by larger elliptical alveoli; main axis of elliptical alveoli directed anterolingually-to-posterolabially; some, but not all, alveoli distinctively raised above the level of the dorsal margin of the dentary.
