MARASUCHUS

Character 105: in Marasuchus the anterior corner of the dorsolateral margin of the astragalus laterally exceeds the development of the posterior corner, a condition not represented by the two character states described by this character. As the condition present in Marasuchus is unique amongst the taxon sample of our data matrix, we decided not to modify the character of Nesbitt et al. (2009a) (i.e. adding a third character state) and consider the condition of Marasuchus as not applicable for this character.
