The vomer (/ ˈ v oʊ m ər /; [1] [2] Latin: vomer, lit. 'ploughshare') is one of the unpaired facial bones of the skull . It is located in the midsagittal line, and articulates with the sphenoid , the ethmoid , the left and right palatine bones, and the left and right maxillary bones.
Schindylesis is an articulation in which two bones are joined by fitting the ridge of one bone into the groove of another. Also known as a "wedge-and-groove" joint, the name is derived from the Greek 'skhindulesis', meaning "to cleave", as in cutting with a stump with an axe.
The nasal septum is the bone and cartilage in the nose that separates the nasal cavity into the two nostrils.The cartilage is called the quadrangular cartilage and the bones comprising the septum include the maxillary crest, vomer, and the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid.
Vomer bone The lowest part of the septum is a narrow strip of bone that projects from the maxilla and the palatine bones , and is the length of the septum. This strip of bone is called the maxillary crest; it articulates in front with the septal nasal cartilage, and at the back with the vomer. [ 5 ]

The vomer bone is much shorter in length than it is in other amphibamids, but similar in proportion to living amphibians. As in most frogs, the palatine bone forms a narrow strip along the side of the palate. Gerobatrachus possesses another modern amphibian characteristic at the back of the skull, a widened bone called the parasphenoid basal
