mandibular symphysis

The mandibular symphysis is unfused and this was most likely a diurnal species.

The fused mandibular symphysis might indicate a relation with the Marginocephalia.

The mandibular symphysis is very long, exceeding the maximum diameter of the orbit in width.

Also, several extinct giant lemurs exhibited a fused mandibular symphysis.

The two halves of the mandible (lower jaw) do not fuse at the mandibular symphysis.

The mandibular symphysis is short.

Their mouth has a convex palate and an incompletely fused mandibular symphysis.

Unlike other Hexaprotodon, Archaeopotamus has a highly elongate mandibular symphysis.

This is similar to the mandible (lower jaw), which is also a fusion of two halves at the mandibular symphysis.

In Subchilotherium the mandibular symphysis is much more narrow than in Chilotherium.

The holotype is a mandibular symphysis, with the specimen number UMZC 577a.

Another distinguishing feature is the extreme length of the mandibular symphysis, which extends past the nineteenth mandibular alveolus.

Acerorhinus has a strongly constricted nasal base and a mandibular symphysis that is narrow compared to that in Chilotherium.

The lower anterior margin of orbit (jugal) is raised and its mandibular symphysis is extremely long, extending to the 23rd or 24th tooth.

The jaw exhibited a long, robust mandibular symphysis (joining of the two halves of the lower jaw), which fused early during development.

Rimasuchus has characteristically short and broad premaxillae, as well as a deep mandibular symphysis connecting the two sides of the upper jaw.

Unlike lemurs, adapiforms exhibited a fused mandibular symphysis (a characteristic of simians) and also possessed four premolars, instead of three or two.

Its primitive features include an unfused mandibular symphysis, relatively large olfactory bulbs, small brain size, and large dentition compared to face and braincase.

Notharctus tenebrosus had a fused mandibular symphysis and molar teeth with well-developed shearing crests, while the incisors are peg-like in form.

The mandibular symphysis, where the two halves of the lower jaw meet, is poorly preserved, but there is nothing to suggest that the left and right dentaries were fused.

The skull of Perudyptes is characterized by deep temporal fossae and an elongate, narrow beak that differs from other reported stem penguins in its short mandibular symphysis.

The mandibular symphysis of S. thailandicus is similar to that of pholidosaurs in that it is long and the region around it is expanded to form a spoon shape.

It is characterized by a narrower rostral trough and smaller but higher nostril, and a higher and narrower cranium, and shorter mandibular symphysis, than the other two species.

One technique uses a small intraoral incision to place a U-shaped Prolene suture that gathers the soft tissue of the chin and elevates it above the lower border of the mandibular symphysis.

Strepsirrhines are also traditionally noted for their unfused mandibular symphysis (two halves of the lower jaw), however, fusion of the mandibular symphysis was common in adapiforms, notably Notharctus.
