skin of this creature shows a marked
resemblance to the skin Of the pres.
ent-day lizard. 1t has wonderfully
sheeny surface, decorated with tiny
Fuckers and fine lines running through
It. This suggests a color pattern IN
life, which may have been a shagreen,
displayed in a color design. 1t Is not
unlikely that when seen from In front
these reptiles presented larger ap'
pearance than when viewed from be-
hind.
The skeleton is equally well pre-
served and shows that the animal was
between flgteen and sixteen feet IN
height and some thirty feet long Re.
