== Discovery and naming == The only known specimen of S. inermis consisted of a partial skull and two caudal vertebrae. It was collected in Egypt during 1911 by the German paleontologist Ernst Stromer whilst on an expedition. It was delivered to the Munich Museum in 1922, and the museum was later destroyed by an Allied bombing raid on 24/25 April 1944. Currently, only photographs of the specimen remain.
