Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
L. J. Krumenacker 2010Autapomorphic features of Oryctodromeus cubicularis: long paraoccipital processes indicating a skull with relatively broad proportions; basioccipital with a steeply sided ventral 'box' just rostral to the occipital condyle, seven sacral vertebrae, including two sacralized posterior dorsals and their ribs; large scapula with a sharply angled and narrow acromion process bearing a thin-edged laterally projecting scapular spine and a distinct posterior bend to the scapular blade; ilium with very short pre-acetabular and long post-acetabular portions; brevis shelf slopes mediolaterally and is visible laterally throughout its length; and long prepubic process with a transversely broad proximal portion possessing an elongate ventral fossa (Varricchio et al., 2007).
