 In noasaurines and a few other genera (such as "Laevisuchus"), the neural spines of vertebrae at the front of the neck were positioned towards the front part of their respective vertebrae.This is quite unusual compared to other theropods, which have neural spines roughly midway down their vertebrae.These genera also have long and spine-like epipophyses on the cervicals of most of the neck, although they diminish near the neck.
