Description

Pelagornis mauretanicus skull in right lateral view, showing the morphology and spatial organization of pseudoteeth.

The line drawing of skull is a reconstruction using the general shape in species of Pelagornis. The fossils used in this study are shown magnified in the inserts, with indication of the ranking of the pseudoteeth, based on their relative size, shape and position. Given the fragmentary nature of our specimens, their precise location within or among jaw bones is not known, and their locations shown here are one example among other possibilities. It is however precisely shown to which part of a sequence the specimens belong, and their orientation (latero-medial and caudo-rostral), with the help of more complete series in [7]. hk, hook; irh, intra-ramal hinge; nar, outer narial opening; nvs, neurovascular sulcus; rg, rostral groove; trf, transverse furrow; tt, tomial “teeth” (from [3], [6], [7], [9], [17]). PT, pseudotooth. 1 to 4 indicate the rank of a pseudotooth. Main frame scale bar = 2 cm. Scale bar in inserts = 2 mm.
