Only Its front part, divided from the hind part by an almost vertical line, is rounded and smooth (fm). The up- per corner was overlapped by AL {al). IL with its thickened hind margin comes in contact with the lower process {il) on the lower margin. Lastly, AVL with its long side process touches the spinal from the inside, fitting into the im- pression on its concave hind margin (avl). Thus the spinal in Dinichthys serves to connect AL, IL and Text-figure 65.
