The ventral armature is preserved in two small patches, and these show the chevron-shaped rods to have been very fine much more delicate than in Micrerpeton.
The body impression is very instructive and interesting, both in showing the form of the body and because in it are preserved the larger portions of the alimentary canal. The form of the body can best be discerned by reference to the figures ([plate 3, figs. 1 and 2]; [plate 5, fig. 1]).
The portions of the alimentary canal preserved consist of the greater portion of the stomach, three coils or loops of the small intestine, the rectum, and a pit which undoubtedly represents the anal opening. The anus is found at a distance of 16 mm. from the tip of the tail and is somewhat removed from the body portion, as in modern salamanders. On each side of the posterior end of the rectum there occur a pair of enlargements which probably represent the oviducts at their posterior ends ([fig. 15, C]).
