Evans et al. 1996Large (skull length up to at least 100 mm) Kababisha with amphicoelous presacral vertebrae in which the depth of the posterior cotyle is only slightly reduced by calcified infilling. In ventral aspect, the atlas centrum has a width:length ratio of 1.5 and there is only a faint suggestion of a three-lobed structure to the ventral surface.
