Outline and overview of the connected slabs TWE 480000454-A, -B, -D, -E, and -M. TWE 480000454-A shows a single plate-like girdle bone (is). TWE 480000454-B contains disarticulated vertebrae from the posterior presacral and sacral region (c1-11, na1-3), fragments of dorsal ribs (dr1, dr2), elements of gastral ribs (unlabelled), the second ischium (is), the round, plate-like pubis (pu), and three bones, most likely representing sacral- or caudal ribs (?cr1-3). TWE 480000454-D, -E, and -M mainly contain dorsal ribs (dr3-9) and elements of gastral ribs as well as two more isolated halves of neural arches (na4, na5), and a caudal rib (cr1). © Nicole Klein and Torsten M.
