within the trochanteric fossa of the femur. Differs from the contemporaneous Megalosaurus bucklandii in posessing low proportions of the dorsal neural spines, transversely broader dorsal neural spines, a prominent posterior flange of the femoral caput and a lower ratio of anteroposterior length to mediolateral width of the pubic peduncle (1.60 in Megalosaurus and estimated between 1.00 and 1.10 in C. newmanorum). |
