Descriptions(3)

Description and remarks. The vertebra morphology is nearly identical to Mertensiella sp. The following differences from it can be observed on the available material: 1) the lack or extremely poor development of the posterior alar process (vs. rather well-developed in Mertensiella); 2) the anterior zygapophyseal crest is well developed (vs. absent in Mertensiella) (Sanchiz and Mlynarski 1979; Hodrova 1984; Ivanov 2008). The orientation of the dia- and parapophysis, the shape of the pterygapophyses have been mentioned as further characters allowing to distinguish these two genera (Hodrova 1984; Sanchiz 1998). However, due to poor preservation of the material, neither these characters can be evaluated nor any further identification at the species level can be done. Lissotriton Bell, 1839
