Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
S. Sánchez-Fenollosa et al. 2023Ankylopollexian ornithopod diagnosed by the following autapomorphies (* when dubious due to taphonomic distortions): femur with (i*) a wide and robust lesser trochanter that almost covers the lateral surface of the greater trochanter; and (ii) a sub-circular distal medial condyle; with (iii) a pronounced and narrow lateromedial ridge on its ventral surface; tibia with (iv) an internal condyle projected dorsally above the dorsal margin of the cnemial crest; and metatarsal IV with (v) sub-triangular (or ellipsoid) morphology of the proximal articulation facet.
