What is this structure
epipubic bone
What is this structure of the holes
Fenestrated Palate
What is this structure of the holes
Fenestrated Palate
2 hind fingers share the same finger sheath, fused at skeletal element
Syndactylus
fingers are skeletally separate in their own finger sheath
Didactylus
multiple incisors on top and bottom; lower and upper jaws are equal
Polyprotodont
multiple incisors on top; two elongated incisors on bottom/lower jaw to meet upper dentition, lower jaw shorter than upper
Diprotodont
How are marsupials different from Eutherians?
- Fenestrated Palate
- Angular process of the Dentary bent medially
- Brain case is smaller
- Both Jugal and Squamosal articulate with Dentary
- Possess an epipubic bone
- Typically have more teeth i5/4 c1/1 pm3/3 m4/4 = 50
