* Skull (table 3):

- The occiput is flat and the skull appears rounded (pl. 4-1A).

Metacarpal bones show rough bases. The 4^th and 5^th left metacarpals are connected by a bar of bone most probably a callus after healed trauma (pl. 5-1).

* Lower limb:

- Innominate bone: right and left. Both have very rough and irregular margins due to bony projections (pl. 5-2).

The articular facets of the diarthrodial joints show large irregular osteophytes at their margins.

- Sacrum: there is bilateral complete sacralization of the 5^th lumbar vertebra, thus the sacrum is formed of 6 pieces.

There is lipping of the promontory.
