Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. W. Maisch and A. T. Matzke 2000 | "Postorbital skull segment rather short, postfrontal does not extend far beyond orbit, humerus rather short and wide, ulna convex posteriorly, dorsomedial process of scapula wide, dorsal vertebrae similar to C. piscosus (possibly the two species are synonymous, but as C. buchseri is based on very good material it is probably best to keep the two separate at the moment)." | |
| C. Ji et al. 2016 | Cymbospondylus with supratemporal and postor- bital in contact, short humerus, and postorbital not entering upper temporal fenestra. |
