FIGURE 4. Postcranial morphology of Hauffiopteryx typicus. A, anterior neural spines of the lectotype GPIT 1491/4, note the broad axial neural spine of the same height as the neural spine of C3 but twice as wide. B, Fused atlas-axis complex (SMNS 80226); C, gastralia in the mid-dorsal region of SMNS 80226, the arrow indicates the boomerang-shaped medial element (see also inset); D, reconstruction of Hauffiopteryx typicus; the shape and position of the dorsal and caudal fins are based on the lectotype. Anterior is to the left in all parts. Scale bars in cm (parts B, C). Abbreviations: at-ax, atlas-axis complex; ns2, neural spine (axis).
