Single recovered most parsimonious ontogram showing the sequence of somatic maturity of the available ontogenetic sequence of Proterosuchus fergusi. Ontogenetic changes indicated with a black box are unambiguously optimised characters (synontomorphies) and changes indicated with a white box are characters optimised under an ACCTRAN optimisation (possible ontomorphies). Upper thin-section shows the bone microstructure of the probable sexually mature SAM-PK-11208 and the lower thin-section shows the bone microstructure of the probably sexually immature SAM-PK-K140.
