Table 1. Breakages and wear in the vertebrae of Tiamat resulted from taphonomic processes.

Anterior vertebrae	Observations
UFRJ-DG 636-R (C3?)	Pre- and post-zygapophyses, neural spine and left transverse process absent.
UFRJ-DG 638-R (C6?)	Pre- and post-zygapophyses, neural spine and right transverse process absent.
UFRJ-DG 606-R (C11?)	Pre- and post-zygapophyses, neural spine and transverse processes absent.
Middle vertebrae
UFRJ-DG 635-R (C3?)	-
UFRJ-DG 591-R (C3?)	Right prezygapophysis absent and neural spine with abrasion marks.
UFRJ-DG 527-R (C3?)	Pre- and post-zygapophyses, neural spine and right transverse process absent.
UFRJ-DG 704-R (C3?)	Right prezygapophysis absent and neural spine with few abrasion marks. In the anterior portion, there is the presence of a small part of the distal portion of the anterior vertebra at 704-R, located laterally over the cotyle to the right of the midline.
