Uriash kadici n. gen. n. sp. holotype, femora. Large fragment of right femur SZRFH Ob.3103 (individual C) in A, anterior; B, medial; C, posterior; and D, lateral views. Small fragment of left femur SZRFH Ob.3103 (individual C) in E, posterior; and F, medial views. The numbers 7* and 8 indicate the autapomorphies described in the text: femoral shaft starts to transversely expand distally at a point close to its midlength; and hypertrophied femoral fourth trochanter. Scale bar equals 200 mm. © Díez Díaz et al. (2025) · CC BY 4.0 · Wikimedia
