Theplastron (tig. 2) is nearly completely preserved, wanting only a part of the right epiplastral and the extremities of the xiphiplastrals. The latter loss is unfortunate, because it makes it impossible to lie sure whether the posterior end of the plastron was notched as in Pleurosternum, but I believe that Fiar. ~Xlm- Thol

The length of the phistron is approximately 310 mm., the length of the bridge 132 mm., the width of the anterior lobe at its middle point 125 mm. The hyo- and hypoplastral buttresses are strongly developed, especially the latter; their points of attachment to the carapace have been noticed above.
