M. T. Young et al. 2010 | Metriorhynchoid thalattosuchian, with over 20 teeth per maxilla; strong ornamentation on the cranial bones, including those of the rostrum; rounded angle formed by the lateral and medial processes of the frontal; the frontal forms an intertemporal flange; the dorsal rim of the orbit is composed of the prefrontal, frontal, and postorbital bones (rostral to caudal); the orbital is ellipsoid; prefrontals are incipitally enlarged over the orbits; the antorbital fossa is elongate, narrow, and oriented obliquely, and is enclosed by the lacrimal, maxilla, and jugal; the antorbital pseudofenestra is enclosed by the lacrimal and maxilla; the lacrimal contacts the nasal primarily on its anterior edge; the prefrontal–nasal suture has a pronounced, rectangular convexity on the posterior half of the suture. |
