Skull of the holotype specimen. Tranatocetus is similar to "Cetotherium" megalophysum, Adicetus, Mesocetus, and Mixocetus in having rostral bones that override the frontals and contact the parietals, nasals dividing the maxillae on the vertex, a dorsoventrally bent occipital shield with a more horizontal anterior portion and more vertical posterior portion, and a tympanic bulla with short ...
C.trimicrodon with a human for scale. The holotype is IWCMS 2002.189.1, 2, 4: three pieces, more or less contiguous, of the front part of a snout.As paratypes have been referred: IWCMS 2002.189.3, a partial posterior skull roof; IWCMS 2003.2, a left quadrate; IWCMS 2003.4, a possible partial jugal; ICWMS 2002.237, a 44 millimeter (1.7 in) long fragment of the first phalanx of the wing finger ...
The literature available on the anatomy of Sylvilagus insonus mainly concentrates on the skull and therefore distinguishing features of the Omilteme cottontail's skull have been well described. The skull is large, approximately 78 mm (3.1 in) in length and 32 mm (1.3 in) in depth, with a large palate and a wide braincase.
A basilar skull fracture typically requires a significant degree of trauma to occur. [1] It is defined as a fracture of one or more of the temporal, occipital, sphenoid, frontal or ethmoid bone. [1] Basilar skull fractures are divided into anterior fossa, middle fossa and posterior fossa fractures. [1] Facial fractures often also occur. [1]
Skull. The skull of Ouranosaurus is 67.0 cm (26.4 in) long. It was rather low, being 24.4 cm (9.6 in) wide and only 26.0 cm (10.2 in) tall. The top of the skull was flat, the highest point being just in front of the orbits and sloping down towards both the rear of the skull and the tip of the snout. [1]
Anterior (from Latin ante 'before') describes what is in front, [22] and posterior (from Latin post 'after') describes what is to the back of something. [23] For example, for a dog the nose is anterior to the eyes and the tail is considered the most posterior part; for many fish the gill openings are posterior to the eyes but anterior to the tail.
Ouranopithecus is a genus of extinct Eurasian great ape represented by two species, Ouranopithecus macedoniensis, a late Miocene (9.6–8.7 mya) hominoid from Greece [1] and Ouranopithecus turkae, also from the late Miocene (8.7–7.4 mya) of Turkey.
The holotype skull, as preserved and measured from the anterior tip of the rostrum to the posterior (rear) end of the damaged surangular, measures 70 cm (28 in) in length, and 41 cm (16 in) in height. [2] [5] Based on these dimensions, Barinasuchus likely had a total skull length of about 1 m (39 in). [5]
