O. Rieppel 1995 | "A small species of Nothosaurs with relatively large orbits; relatively narrow postorbital arches; the pterygoids closely approach the internal nares; the paroccipital procceses trend posterolaterally resulting in a distinct displacement of the lower jaw joints to a level well behind the occcipital condyle; the occiput is deeply concave." | |
O. Rieppel and R. Wild 1996 | A species of Nothosaurus of small size (condylobasal skull length 126 mm); orbits relatively large; postorbital arches relatively narrow; pterygoids closely approaching the internal nares; paroccipital processes trend posterolaterally, which results in a distinct posterior displacement of the lower jaw articulation to a level well behind the occipital condyle; and occiput deeply concave. |
