  2. Basilar part of occipital bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilar_part_of_occipital_bone

    The basilar part of the occipital bone (also basioccipital) extends forward and upward from the foramen magnum, and presents in front an area more or less quadrilateral in outline. In the young skull, this area is rough and uneven, and is joined to the body of the sphenoid by a plate of cartilage.

  3. Occipital condyles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_condyles

    The occipital condyles are undersurface protuberances of the occipital bone in vertebrates, which function in articulation with the superior facets of the atlas vertebra.. The condyles are oval or reniform (kidney-shaped) in shape, and their anterior extremities, directed forward and medialward, are closer together than their posterior, and encroach on the basilar portion of the bone; the ...

  4. Occipital bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_bone

    The basioccipital lies in front of the opening, the two exoccipital condyles lie to either side, and the larger supraoccipital lies to the posterior, and forms at least part of the rear of the cranium. In many bony fish and amphibians, the supraoccipital is never ossified, and remains as cartilage throughout life.

  5. Neurocranium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurocranium

    The singular basioccipital is the rear lower part of the braincase, below the foramen magnum. It is homologous to the basilar part of the occipital bone . In the ancestral tetrapod, the basioccipital makes up most of a large central knob-like surface, the occipital condyle, which articulates with the vertebrae as a ball-and-socket joint .

  6. Lateral parts of occipital bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_parts_of_occipital...

    The condyles are oval or reniform (kidney-shaped) in shape, and their anterior extremities, directed forward and medialward, are closer together than their posterior, and encroach on the basilar portion of the bone; the posterior extremities extend back to the level of the middle of the foramen magnum.

    basioccipital The basioccipital is an unpaired bone of the skull, and one of four bones forming the occiput of the braincase. It is exposed in rear view of the articulated skull. It forms most of the occipital condyle, a rounded process connecting the skull to the atlas, the first vertebra of the neck. Above, it is fused with the paired ...

  9. Ceratonykus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratonykus

    A coarse-cellular structure is seen on the right side of the skull. The body of the basioccipital forms an occipital condyle, while the exoccipitals do not form a part of the condyle. The sphenoccipital tubercles are separated by a wide groove and a depression is present in the contact area of the basioccipital and basisphenoid.
