Fig. 2. Dorsal view of the dermal skull roof, x 2. The high position of this contact (best seen in occipital view) is correlated with the far ventral extension of the quadrate. The mandible has its greatest height at a smoothly arched coronoid process. From this region, the mandible tapers gently anteriorly and rapidly posteriorly. On the medial surface, there is a large prearticular (Meckelian) fossa but no inframeckelian fenestra. The articular sends a process medially and ventrally.
