 It has been identified as a crurotarsan (pseudosuchian) archosaur from its short cervicals, short cervical ribs, and broad spine tables with associated osteoderms, as opposed to an avemetatarsalian.However, it does not preserve any unique traits (autapomorphies) that would ally it with any known major group of pseudosuchians.Despite this, it has been determined to unlikely be a phytosaur, aetosaur, 'rauisuchian' or a crocodylomorph, as it either shares no traits with them or is much smaller than would be expected for these forms.
