A carnivorous quadruped measuring long, "Teleocrater" is notable for its unusually long neck vertebrae. The neural canals in its neck vertebrae gradually become taller towards the back of the neck, which may be a distinguishing trait. Unlike the Lagerpetidae or Ornithodira, the hindlimbs of "Teleocrater" are not adapted for running; the metatarsal bones are not particularly elongated. Also unlike lagerpetids and ornithodirans, "Teleocrater" inherited the more flexible ankle configuration present ancestrally among archosaurs, suggesting that the same configuration was also ancestral to Avemetatarsalia but was lost independently by several lineages. Histology of the long bones of "Teleocrater" indicates that it had moderately fast growth rates, closer to ornithodirans than crocodilians and other pseudosuchians.
