Parasagittal view (Fig. 31) The outer surface of the braincase is formed by the bones found here in all Dinocephalia. Posteriorly the bones of the occipital plate are seen in section. The exoccipital has a large outer face and is pierced by a large jugular foramen. The supraoccipital sends the usual flange anteriorly to meet the sphenoid complex and a downwardly directed process curving down in front of the. Fig. 31. Anteosaurus sp. 12082 X £.
