Figure 1 in Anatomy and phylogenetic value of the mandibular and coronoid canals and their associated foramina in proboscideans (Mammalia)

Figure 1. Schematic representation of the mandible of the basal proboscidean Phosphatherium escuillei depicting the principal anatomical characters of the coronoid and mandibular canals and their associated foramina in proboscideans (modified from Gheerbrant et al., 2005b). A, labial view; B, lingual view. The courses of the mandibular and coronoid canals in P. escuillei are hypothetical and were reconstructed based on the position of the external foramina and by comparison with Moeritherium. Abbreviations: a.m.c., anterior mental canal; a.m.f., anterior mental foramen; con., condyle; co.f., coronoid foramen; co.p., coronoid process; l.m.c., lateral mental canal; ma.c., mandibular canal; ma.f., mandibular foramen; p.m.f., posterior mental foramen; sym., symphysis (section). Arrow indicates the position of the posterior border of the symphysis. Scale bar = 1 cm.
