Fig.Ā 3From: Updated cranial and mandibular description of the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) baenid turtle Saxochelys gilberti based on micro-computed tomography scans and new information on the holotype-shell association3D renderings of the internal cranium of the holotype of Saxochelys gilberti (DMNH EPV.96000). A internal (medial) view of right side of cranium. B internal (medial) view of left side of cranium. Note that median bones have been sectioned in the midline to produce these images. Also note that bones are labelled in bold font, and traits are labelled in regular font. boc, basioccipital; bpp, broken part of parietal; btb, basis tuberculi basalis; cp, clinoid process; crcr, crista cranii; cs, crista supraoccipitalis; ds, dorsum sellae; ex, exoccipital; f, frontal; faccc, foramen anterius canalis carotici cerebralis; faf, fossa acustico-facialis; fas, foramen alveolare superius; fav, foramen aquaducti verstibuli; fja, foramen jugulare anterius; fnt, foramen nervi trigemini; j, jugal; mx, maxilla; na, nasal; op, opisthotic; pa, parietal; pal, palatine; pbs, parabasisphenoid; pnp, posterior nasal process; pm, premaxilla; po, postorbital; prf, prefrontal; pt, pterygoid; soc, supraoccipital; st, sella turcica; v, vomer; VII, foramen for the facial (CN VII) nerve; VIII, foramina for the acoustic (CN VIII) nerve; XII, foramina for the hypoglossal (CN XII) nerveBack to article page
