Table 5. Measurements of the preserved axial bones of Aenigmastropheus parringtoni nov. gen. et nov. sp. (UMZC T836) in millimeters.
Vertebrae (sensu Parrington) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Centrum length | 16.4 | 16.5 | 15.17 | 16.6 | (15.7) |
Anterior articular facet height | 10.2 | 11.3 | 11.2 | (11.3) | 11.5 |
Anterior articular facet width | (9.9) | 10.8 | 11.4 | (11.0) | 10.4 |
Posterior articular facet height | 11.6 | (10.9) | 10.9 | 10.8 | (10.4) |
Posterior articular facet width | 10.2 | 11.0 | 11.3 | 11.3 | (9.8) |
Maximum height of the vertebra | (19.8) | (18.6) | (17.4) | (19.5) | (16.9) |
Length along zygapophyses | (19.5) | (19.1) | (12.7) | (17.7) | (10.3) |
Values between brackets indicate incomplete measurements (due to post-mortem damage) and the value given is the maximum measurable. The length along the zygapophyses is the maximum anteroposterior length between the anterior tips of the prezygapophyses and the posterior tips of the postzygapophyses. Maximum deviation of the digital caliper is 0.02 mm but measurements were rounded to the nearest 0.1 millimeter.
