FIG. 2 in A skull of Machairodus Kaup, 1833 (Felidae, Mammalia) from the late Miocene of Hadjidimovo (Bulgaria), and its place in the evolution of the genus

FIG. 2. — Orientation of the orbits in HD-9196 and LCTF. The values (in degrees) are those of the dihedral angle between the planes of the left and right orbits, defined by plotting the lowermost, uppermost, and anteriormost points of each orbit in space (this slightly differs from twice the convergence angle of Casares- Hidalgo et al. 2019, who used the most posterior point of orbit instead of the lowermost one). Although the accuracy is only moderate because these points are not very precisely defined, the general picture clearly shows less frontally oriented orbits in Machairodus Kaup, 1833 than in most LCTF. Dinofelis Zdansky, 1924 is an estimate for a cast of D. cristata (Falconer & Cautley, 1836), NHMUK M32148.
