The paired parietal is the hindmost bone of the skull roof. A dermal bone, it is located behind the frontals, and roofs the braincase. [25]: 38 [1]: 141 [20] parietal fenestrae The parietal fenestrae are a pair of window-like openings commonly found in the neck frills of ceratopsians.
Generalised geological map of Mars [1] Mars as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope. The geology of Mars is the scientific study of the surface, crust, and interior of the planet Mars. It emphasizes the composition, structure, history, and physical processes that shape the planet. It is analogous to the field of terrestrial geology.
Wormian bones, also known as intrasutural bones or sutural bones, [1] are extra bone pieces that can occur within a suture (joint) in the skull. These are irregular isolated bones that can appear in addition to the usual centres of ossification of the skull and, although unusual, are not rare. [ 2 ]
The sagittal suture is formed from the fibrous connective tissue joint between the two parietal bones of the skull. [1] It has a varied and irregular shape which arises during development. [1] The pattern is different between the inside and the outside. [1] Two anatomical landmarks are found on the sagittal suture: the bregma, and the vertex of ...
If certain bones of the skull grow too fast then premature fusion of the sutures, craniosynostosis, may occur. [1] This can result in skull deformities. [ 1 ] These deformities include: [ 3 ]
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been studying Martian terrain since it was launched 12 years ago, recently discovered a feature on the Red Planet's surface that has left researchers ...
Crocodilian form of crurotarsal ankle. The astragalus (pink) is fixed to the tibia (green) by a suture. Adapted with permission from Palaeos. In the type of crurotarsal ankle, which is found in crocodilians and some other archosaurs, the astragalus is fixed to the tibia by a suture, and the joint bends around a peg on the astragalus, which fits into a socket in the calcaneum.
Scientists have identified a super resilient desert moss species in China's western region of Xinjiang that could help sustain possible colonies on Mars, a study by the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...
