  1. Those parts of the complete material that were mentioned in Huene’s (1922) original description, represent the type material or syntype. Additional and unpublished material is referred to A. greppini in this paper. Size differences and double elements make it possible to distinguish between at least four individuals in three different size classes; these are indicated in the table as individuals A–D, or, if too fragmentary, are not assigned to one of these individuals. Caudal vertebrae assigned to individual A have been tentatively determined to their anatomical position in accordance with the skeletal reconstruction
