A nearly complete skull fossil found in Egypt has revealed a new species of Hyaenodonta, an apex carnivore that mysteriously went extinct about 25 million years ago.

A few fossilized body parts hinted at an enigmatic bird's close ties to waterfowl like ducks and geese. A newfound skull may bolster that idea.

Skull anomalies may originate prenatally or may develop postnatally during the first 2 years of life. [3] Figure 1 illustrates the boney anatomy of the normal skull sutures and fontanelles.

This skull provides paleontologists with a rare glimpse into the anatomy, behavior, and evolutionary path of sauropodomorph dinosaurs. The name Lishulong wangi carries special significance.

Evidence for this function first came from studies of the organ's anatomy and its nerves as well as the structure of the brainstem. Later, experiments conducted from a submersible confirmed that ...
