Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| Z. Roček 2008 | Skull wider than long. Frontal portions of frontoparietals separated by a fontanelle, parietal portions interconnected by median suture. Nasals crescentlike, only their anterior parts are in contact. Maxillae deeper anteriorly than posteriorly, with orbital margin straight or only moderately concave. Horizontal lamina on the maxillae weakly developed and with no pterygoid process. Quadratojugals present. Palatines present, although fused to palatal processes of maxillae. Extensive squamoso-maxillary contact. Vomers with no postchoanal process. Prootics and exoccipitals separated by a suture. Eight presacral vertebrae with imbricated neural arches. Vertebral centra amphicoelous, with or without notochordal canal. Ribs on vertebrae 2e4 either free (Gobiates) or distinguishable from the transverse processes (Cretasalia). Sacro-urostylar articulation bicondylar. Urostyle with at least one pair of transverse processes. Epicondylus lateralis humeri probably absent; the latter character is based on associated disarticulated humeri. |
