Indeterminate amphisbaenian
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 4 trunk vertebrae (Béon 2004 LT 57).
COMMENTS
The vertebrae show features that are found in both the Amphisbaenidae and Blanidae (the latter family has been erected recently by Kearney 2003): vertebrae markedly depressed; neural spine faint or absent; zygosphene-zygantrum system absent; paradiapophyses globular; ventral surface of centrum only slightly convex in crosssection, without any trace of ridge. Vertebrae do not permit further identification.
