The tibia lacks a distinct cnemial crest in each case. Similarly, there is little difference between the tarsus of Orthosuchus and that of Protosuchus. In both types the calcaneum bears a tuber which is more prominently developed than it is in living crocodiles and which is grooved on its posterior surface.
