Phonetic pronunciation: jark ski-an-ach.

The fossil was separated into four slabs during preparation: the main slab contains the majority of bones, exposed in dorsal view (NMS G.2021.6.1), and the main counter slab contains bones exposed ventrally (NMS G.2021.6.3). An additional block contains a wing phalanx (NMS G.2021.6.4). The skull and anterior cervical vertebrae (NMS G. 2021.6.2) were separated from the main slab for X-ray computed microtomography ( M CT) (Figure 2).
