The lower face of the centrum is broad and flat or even slightly concave. On the posterior external corners there are small but prominent processes for the capitula of the atlantal ribs; smaller processes, almost destroyed by decay, lie on the sides of the arch near the level of the base of the neural canal. The anterior face is deeply concave below, forming a socket for the nearly spherical occipital condyle. The upper edges of the face are drawn in sharply below the anterior processes and form the sides of the deep notch which receives the anterior end of the odontoid process. The diameter of the neural canal is Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Carnegie Institution of Washington.
