Holotype—NHMUK PV R37110, an associated partial skel- eton in three contiguous blocks consisting of: seven vertebrae (four dorsals, one caudal, and two that are too poorly preserved to identify with certainty); fragments of the sternum and pelvis; a complete scapulocoracoid; and multiple elements of the forelimb (including wrist bones and a complete wing-metacarpal) and hind limb.

Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:gray,blue marl
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: The marlstones are dark blue-grey in colour, but weather to a very much paler hue
Environment:lagoonal/restricted shallow subtidal
Geology comments: The sediments of the G.E.S. were probably laid down in large, quiet, shallow, warm lagoons, not open directly to the sea, with the sandy beds of the succession indicating river deltas.
