The seven vertebrae in the cervical spine range from the base of the skull to the top of the shoulders. The smallest within the entire spinal column, these vertebrae provide support for the head, protect the sp

Eleven post-axial cervical vertebrae are opisthocoelous (Fig. 3c; Supplementary Fig. S12). The third cervical lacks the neural spine, whereas it is low in the other cervicals. Finger-like postzygapophyses form V-shaped in dorsal view with a divergent angle of roughly 90°. Figure 3 (a...
