Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
Z. Roček 2008The genus may be diagnosed by combination of following characters: (1) skull broader than long; (2) presacral vertebrae amphicoelous or even pierced by a notochordal canal; (3) dermal roofing bones of the skull and the maxilla covered by irregular pit-and-ridge sculpture (Fig. 2B); (4) frontoparietals paired, their anterior parts separated by a long frontoparietal fontanelle; their posterior surface is pierced by the foramen for the occipital artery; (5) the nasals barely in contact with the tips of the frontoparietals; (6) palatines free in juvenile individuals, coalesced to the palatine process of the maxilla in adults; (7) squamoso-maxillary contact extensive; (8) maxillary-pterygoid contact without participation of the pterygoid process on the horizontal lamina of the maxilla; (9) parasphenoid bears a distinct keel in the midline; and (10) the ilium bears a prominent and well-defined tuber superius, the iliac shaft is rounded on its dorsal margin, and there is a shallow groove which crosses the dorsal margin of the ilium obliquely immediately anterior to the tuber.
