dinosaurs, the antorbital fenestra and the upper temporal fenestra, have closed. The skull has nineteen to twenty-four teeth in each upper jaw. The frontmost...

orbits that are larger than the upper temporal fenestra. The quadratojugal does not enter the upper temporal fenestra. The anterior margin of the external...

The temporal bones are situated at the sides and base of the skull, and lateral to the temporal lobes of the cerebral cortex. The temporal bones are overlaid...

the upper temporal fenestra. Behind the rear tip of each jugal lies a diamond-shaped squamosal bone, which forms the lower edge of the upper temporal fenestra...

all anapsids lack temporal fenestra as a primitive trait, and that all the groups traditionally seen as anapsids truly lacked fenestra. While "anapsid reptiles"...

orbit. The temporal region (behind the orbit) has two large openings: an upper temporal fenestra which is encircled by bone, and a lower temporal excavation...

cornalianus has a sagittal crest associated with the expansion of the upper temporal fenestra. This indicates that it had exceptionally strong jaw muscles. In...

argued that "protorosaurs" were "euryapsids" (reptiles with only an upper temporal fenestra) related to sauropterygians, though later accounts admitted that...
