Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| S. C. R. Maidment et al. 2020 | Adratiklit boulahfa differs from all other stegosaurs by possession of the following autapomorphies: (1) a small, triangular, rugose protuberance situated dorsally on the prezygapophysis posterior to the articular facet of dorsal vertebrae; (2) anterior centroparapophyseal laminae drawn into anteriorly-projecting rugosities either side of the neural canal in dorsal vertebrae. In addition, the following features appear to be unique to Adratiklit, but are only present on the referred cervical vertebrae, and not on the holotype. Due to uncertainty about association of the material, we do not include them in the diagnosis of the taxon, but flag their presence here because further discoveries may indicate that they are indeed autapomorphies: (1) anteroposteriorly elongate prezygapophyses on cervical vertebrae; (2) anteroposteriorly elongate and blade-like neural spine that extends posteriorly to the distal end of the postzygapophyses on cervical vertebrae; (3) epipophyses, in the form of rugose ridges, present on the postzygapophyses of posterior cervical vertebrae; |
