| R. A. Short et al. 2019 | Retained characters from Prothero (2005:94): “robust, flattened carpals, tarsals, and metapodials...a very brachycephalic skull with a flaring lambdoid crest and broad zygomatic arches...nasals that are U-shaped in cross-section, with or without a small terminal horn... a strong, lobal antecrochet on the upper molars, and an elongate calcaneal tuber.” Rejected characters from Prothero (2005) are provided in the remarks below. |
