Fig. 2

Interpretative drawing of endoskeletal anatomy of †Saurichthys sp. (NHMD_157546_A); a right lateral (mirrored) view; b dorsal view; c ventral view; d anterior view; e posterior view. Blue shades indicate elements of likely endochondral origin (except dermohyal). Earthy–purple shades indicate elements of likely dermal origin.
