Rauhut 2011 | Spinoprezygapophyseal lamina in the middle caudal vertebrae extends anteriorly to the midwidth of the base of the prezygapophysis (rather than its lateral margin, as in other theropods) and is flanked laterally by a short, parallel lamina extending from the lateral margin of the prezygapophysis posteriorly. |
