Fossil frogs are rarely found as multiple articulated skeletons, therefore the discovery of this taxon has provided important insight into anuran evolution. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The holotype , IVPP V11525, is known from a nearly complete skeleton exposed in a dorsal view on a shale slab.
Temporal fenestrae in relation to the other skull openings in the dinosaur Massospondylus, a type of diapsid. The supratemporal fenestra, also called the upper temporal fenestra, is positioned above the other fenestra and is exposed primarily in dorsal (top) view. In some reptiles, particularly dinosaurs, the parts of the skull roof lying ...
The quadrate bone is a skull bone in most tetrapods, including amphibians, sauropsids (reptiles, birds), and early synapsids. In most tetrapods, the quadrate bone connects to the quadratojugal and squamosal bones in the skull, and forms upper part of the jaw joint.
These two terms, used in anatomy and embryology, describe something at the back (dorsal) or front/belly (ventral) of an organism. [2] The dorsal (from Latin dorsum 'back') surface of an organism refers to the back, or upper side, of an organism. If talking about the skull, the dorsal side is the top. [38]

The critter’s robust skull had additional bones and elements that have likely disappeared with evolution, and its elongated snout paired with a short region of the skull behind the eyes was ...
Compared to other dissorophid temnospondyls, Platyhystrix’s skull is rather large (over 19 cm long along midline), as well as long and narrow when analyzed in dorsal view. There is a wide variety in dermal sculpturing which occurs along the dorsal and lateral portions of the skull.
They have an average skull width of 12.02±0.36 mm and an average skull length of 9.38±0.14 mm. [8] The dorsal body of H. japonica is green/brown and the ventral body is white. [5] H. japonica is also characterized by a dark spot on the upper lip below the eye. [5] Female H. japonica, on average, are larger in size compared to male H. japonica ...
