Sutekhsuchus (formerly known as Tomistoma dowsoni) is a species of gavialine crocodilian from the Miocene of Libya and Egypt.While this species was originally described as a species of the genus Tomistoma, which includes the modern false gharial, later studies have shown that it was actually a much more derived gavialoid closely related to the Kenyan Eogavialis andrewsi.
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 ...
This species is a relative large frog with a snout–to–vent length of 5.8 to 8 cm (2.3–3.1 in). It has numerous sharp, pointed projections on the head and dorsal surface, hence the common name. [7] The skin on the head is fused to the skull and the tympanum is very large. The legs are long and slender and the digits have adhesive discs at ...

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 ...
The species was described in 2018 by zoologist Andrew Gray, [4] and is named after his granddaughter. It can be distinguished from the closely related C. calcarifer (Splendid Tree Frog) by having small green lichen-like markings on its dorsal surfaces rather than white or pale blue spots and lacking characteristic dark ventral markings found on the under-thighs of C. calcarifer which are ...
A high school student made an incredible discovery in her own backyard: A 34-million-year-old whale skull. Sixteen-year-old Lindsey Stallworth and her biology teacher, Andrew Gentry, found small ...
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.
