IITR/VPL/SB 3102-6, complete posterior anterior trunk vertebra in anterior view (p); posterior view (q); left lateral view (r); dorsal view (s); ventral view (t). Grey arrows indicate anterior direction. Red arrowheads and arrows indicate fossae on neural spinal base and endozygantral foramina, respectively. Roman numerals on figures (m–o) refer to individual vertebrae in articulated specimens where ‘I” is towards the anterior.
