Re: Armadillosuchus manus query

[Nicholas Gardner <nick.gardner@gmail.com>]

>From the paper:

Armadillosuchus arrudai
Holotype: UFRJ DG 303-R consists of an almost complete skull, complete
cervical vertebrae and ribs, dorsal vertebrae and ribs, scapulae, a
partial left coracoid, left humerus displaced anteriorly, left radius
and ulna, most of the left manus, complete cervical osteoderm shield
and seven bands of imbricated osteoderms
Paratype: MPMA-64-0001-04 premaxillae broken at rostral end and dorsal
portion, left maxilla broken after second left tooth and dorsal
portion, right maxilla broken after the fourth tooth and dorsal
portion, lower jaw almost complete at mandibular symphysis

However, you haven't indicated what you are referring to exactly. The
manus is not figured in the description.

Cheers,
