Family LACERTIDAE Bonaparte, 1831
As is typical for lacertids, the sulcus Meckeli is widely open in the posterior part of the bone and it gradually narrows anteriorly, where it opens ventromedially. The tooth row, lamina horizontalis, and ventral border of the dentary are arched ventrally. Teeth are cylindrical, pleurodont, isodont, and generally bi- or tricuspid. Two morphological types appear to be present at Béon 1.
