It should be made clear that only the braincase (Ci-dessous Arrière crâne)
actually belongs to Piveteausaurus. The vertebrae and teeth are referred to
this genus with no justification. The two cervicodorsals may belong to
Eustreptospondylus, but I cannot verify this. They are strongly
opisthocoelous with large pleurocoels, so it's possible. I'm far less
certain about the dentary fragment and vertebrae said to be Megalosaurus.
