Annotated diagram of the reconstructed skull Annotated diagram of the reconstructed skull muscles of Spinosaurus. Its skull had a narrow snout filled with straight conical teeth that lacked serrations. There were six or seven teeth on each side of the very front of the upper jaw, in the premaxillae, and another twelve in both maxillae behind ...
Annotated skull diagram of Spinosaurus. Spinosaurid skulls—similar in many respects to those of crocodilians—were long, low and narrow. [17] As in other theropods, various fenestrae (openings) in the skull aided in reducing its weight. In spinosaurs however, the antorbital fenestrae were greatly reduced, akin to those of crocodilians. [30]
Diagram illustrating skull elements from Irritator (bottom) and other spinosaurids, comparing the relative positions of the external nares, or bony nostrils, (labeled e.n.) In 1998, Sereno and colleagues defined two subfamilies within the Spinosauridae based on craniodental (skull and tooth) characteristics.
Labeled skull diagram of the related and possibly synonymus Spinosaurus In 2017, a phylogenetic analysis by the Brazilian palaeontologists Marcos Sales and Cesar Schultz concluded that Oxalaia was more closely related to African spinosaurines than to Brazilian spinosaurines like Angaturama , as indicated by a wider snout and the lack of a ...
The head rests on the top part of the vertebral column, with the skull joining at C1 (the first cervical vertebra known as the atlas). The skeletal section of the head and neck forms the top part of the axial skeleton and is made up of the skull, hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, and cervical spine. The skull can be further subdivided into:

Bony parts include the skull, the axial skeleton (spine and ribs), and the appendicular skeleton (girdles and limbs). [21] Most of these bones are paired , with a mirror-inverted counterpart on the other side of the body, or unpaired , in which case they usually lie at the body midline and are divided by the latter into two symmetrical halves ...
