| 21. | The neural spines of the vertebrae are distinctively shaped like shark fins, being high and triangular.
|
| 22. | However, Ralph Molnar observed that Harris had an additional vertebra figured with a curved neural spine.
|
| 23. | The neural spines on the rear dorsal, sacral and front tail vertebrae are expanded in side view.
|
| 24. | Both the Dicraeosauridae and the Diplodocidae are characterized by bifurcated neural spines of the cervical and dorsal vertebra.
|
| 25. | The possession of amphiplatyan caudal centra with anteriorly facing neural spines is a unique identifier of this species.
|
| 26. | However, the tops of the neural spines along the back bone are strikingly different in each genus.
|
| 27. | The genera is characterized by the dimension and shape of the neural spine of the proximal caudal vertebrae.
|
| 28. | It is likely that this undescribed leg bone belonged to the same individual animal as the neural spine.
|
| 29. | The neural spines had ossified ( turned to bone ) tendons, which also overlapped some of the vertebrae.
|
| 30. | These seem to be individually separated and are placed as extensions of each neural spine of the vertebral column.
