The length given in the article as 23.7 cm from the tip of premaxilla to the 
last
(ninth) preserved caudal vertebra. From the pictures in the Nature with scale
bar, the skull appears to be ~5.2 cm long. The ratios given in the article are
forlimb/presacral 0.75, skull/presacral 0.48. Average diameter of the intestine
is 5.22 mm.
