Figure 6. The anterior, ventral and lateral walls of the braincase of Myosaurus gracilis (BP/1/2690 and BP/1/2701a): orbitosphenoid (purple) of BP/1/2690 in (A) anterior, (B) dorsal and (C) right lateral views; the pterygoid (yellow) of BP/1/2690 in (D) dorsal, (E) right lateral and (F) ventral views; ventral braincase floor of BP/1/2701a in (G) dorsal and (H) right lateral views; epipterygoid (pink) of BP/1/2701a in (I) anterior, (J) right lateral and (K) medial views; and the parabasisphenoid (turquoise) of BP/1/2690 in (L) dorsal, (M) left lateral and (N) ventral views. apf, pterygoid anteroposterior furrow; aptr, anterior (palatal) ramus of the pterygoid; bpt, basisphenoidal tubera; clp, clinoid process; co, crista oesophagea; ds, dorsum sellae; epar, epipterygoid ascending ramus; epdp, epipterygoid dorsal plate; epft, epipterygoid footplate; ic, internal carotid foramina; ltcr, oblique crests of the lateral wall; obacr, orbitosphenoid vertical crest; obasu, lateral sulci of the median vertical process; obdfo, orbitosphenoid dorsal fossa; obgu, orbitosphenoid gutter; obvp, orbitosphenoid vertical process; obsp, orbitosphenoid spine process; obw, orbitosphenoid wings; ofc, olfactory cavity; PRB, parasphenoid rostrum + basipresphenoid; ps, parasphenoid (light blue) rostrum; psc, parasphenoidal crests; psf, parasphenoidal foramen; pss, parasphenoidal sulcus; pt amp, anteromedial process of the pterygoid; pt gr, pterygoid dorsal groove; ptmp, pterygoid median plate; ptqr, quadrate ramus of the pterygoid; stu, sella turcica. Scale bars equal 5 mm. The first scale serves for (A-C), the second for (D-F), the third for (G-H), the fourth for (I-K) and the fifth for (L-N).
