In the two atlas vertebrae, L40319 and L41482 (Fig. 50), the side edges are not concave over a very great length, and the front edge of the dorsal surface is not very indented. An alcelaphine character which both do show is a forwardly directed spike centrally at the front of the ventral Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
