outline of human anatomy
nesbitt (2011) found that proterochampsians share several distinguishing characteristics, or synapomorphies. a prominent ridge runs along the length of the jugal, a bone below the eye. another ridge is present on the quadratojugal, a bone positioned toward the back of the skull behind the jugal. there is also a depression on the squamosal bone of the skull roof. the second metatarsal of the foot is wider than the other metatarsals. proterochampsians lack a fifth digit on the foot; the fifth metatarsal is reduced to a small pointed bone. however, nesbitt (2011) only considered proterochampsia to include proterochampsidae. ezcurra (2016), who recovered a clade formed by proterochampsidae and doswelliidae, defined proterochampsia by up-facing nostrils, maxilla-to-prefrontal contact, the tooth bearing part of the upper jaw being curved downwards, neck and front back vertebrae lacking a postzygodiapophyseal lamina, tibia with straight cnemial crest, fifth metatarsal that is not hook-shaped in its inner end, well developed foot phalanges on the fifth digit but with a poorly developed first phalanx, among other traits.
