The plastron lacks most of theposterior lobe, the anterior end of the anterior lobe and the left bridge are damaged. The shell is slightly crushed dorsoventrlaly and the carapace surface is somewhat damaged.

Referred material:

PRC 231: A posterior portion of carapace associated with a nearly complete plastron. The carapce is visible in dorsal view, with the fifth to eighth neurals, part of the first suprapygal, the incomplete right fourth costal and the paried fifth to eigth costals in articulation. The plastron is almost complete but disarticulted along the hyoplastron/hypoplastron suture, lacking the anterior end.

PRC 232: Disarticulated costals of comparable size, which are preserved together, including the right first to third coastals (PRC 232-1 to 3), and the left third, fourth and sixth costals (PRC 323-4 to 6).

PRC 233: An isoalted scapula.

PRC 234: A left seventh peripheral.

PRC 235: Two bridge peripherals, in articulation with one another.

PRC 236: A partial carapace, lacking all peripheral regions.

PRC 237: A plastron disartiuclated along the hyoplastron/hypoplastron sutuere, with the anterior lobe and both bridges damaged.
