cervical (neck) vertebrae have a variety of features shared with various pseudosuchians, such as pits below the postzygapophyses (rear connecting plates), expanded neural spines, and a strong keel on the underside. Dorsal vertebrae near the shoulder have a pair of centrodiapophyseal laminae, buttress-like crests connecting the diapophyses (rib facets) to the centrum (spool-shaped lower portion of each vertebra).
