  1. *Designates approximate position in series.
  2. Designates elements that are slightly broken or abraded.
  3. Designates relative order between elements as inferred from comparing measurements, but does not imply that these elements represent consecutive vertebrae within the tail.
  4. §Designates elements missing a substantial fraction of their whole.
