Abstract

Fig. 28. Photographs and line drawings of the left basicranial region in posterolateral view through the fenestra postotica in M-2983 (A) and M-2995 (B). Note the increased ossification in M-2983 (a large, mature male) relative to M-2995 (an immature male). This increased ossification is especially apparent around the fenestra ovalis (fo) and the lateral margin of the foramen jugular posterius (fjp). The columella auris is absent in both specimens.Published as part of <i>Bever, Gabe S., 2009, Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History (London, England) 2009 (330)</i> on pages 1-97, DOI: 10.1206/330.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/10111568">http://zenodo.org/record/10111568</a&gt
