FIGURE 5 in THE SUPRATEMPORAL SYSTEM AND THE PATTERN OF RAMIFICATION OF CEPHALIC SENSORY CANALS IN DENTICEPS CLUPEOIDES (DENTICIPITOIDEI, TELEOSTEI): ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE FOR MONOPHYLY OF CLUPEIFORMES AND CLUPEOIDEI

FIGURE 5. Main components of the latero-sensory system in the supraorbital and temporal regions of the cranium in Denticeps clupeoides (MZUSP 84776). Lateral view, left side. Extrascapular not represented. The sinus temporalis portion of the supratemporal system (ss) fills the temporal foramen chamber (tfc), which also houses the temporal foramen. Three tubules of the supratemporal system are present in this specimen (atss, ptss1, and ptss2), but 2 to 5 tubules are variably present in other specimens examined. Dark grey represents portions of cephalic canals enclosed or overlain by bone; light grey represents canals in soft tissue. Dermal denticles, tubule of supraorbital cavern, and extrascapular not represented. Scale bar = 0.5 mm.
