The tooth rows are complete and are the same size and morphology as those of Tragelaphini at FLK I and FLKN I. Part of the skeleton of this animal was found beside the skull and dentitions; this consists of most of the pelvic girdle 56, right scapula 549, left patella 544, a crushed radius 541 and several vertebrae (atlas 556, axis 63, three cervicals 63, 64a and 64b, and seven lumbars 539, 540, 550, 551, 552 and 558).

Part of a lower molar 067/1180 from level 2 or 3 is tragelaphine. Limb bones assigned to this tribe are the associated distal end of right humerus 896, proximal end of right radius 902 and complete right metacarpal 895 from level 2; and the proximal end of left metacarpal 855 + 883 + 884 from level 3. They closely resemble limb bones identified as Tragelaphini at FLKN I, a site where reduncines are almost unknown, but here at FLKNN I it is apparent that there is very little difference from contemporary reduncines (Fig. 35), and the.
