dc:description"FIGURE 5. Melanosuchus latrubessei UFAC 2793 in detail of the premaxillary-nasal anterior region. (A) Anterodorsomedial view of the right elements, via sagittal cut, elucidating the limits between premaxilla and nasal; (B) Anterior view of premaxilla, within the external nares, elucidating the absence of premaxilla-nasal suture at this view; (C) Medioventral view demonstrating the overlap suture of premaxilla over nasal; and, (D) Medial view of right elements, via sagittal cut, demarked limits between premaxilla and nasals demonstrating the only possible way to nasal reach the external nares. Full line indicates visible sutures while dashed lines indicated inferred bone limits. Anatomical abbreviations: EN, external nares; pmx-n, suture between premaxilla and nasal; pmx-pmx, suture between premaxillae; pmx, premaxilla; mx-mx, suture between maxillae; n-n, suture between nasals; n, nasal. Out of scale.";
dc:description"FIGURE 6. Melanosuchus latrubessei UFAC 2793 in details of the maxillary and premaxillary limits of the ventral portion in medial view. (A) Elucidating the preserved anterior limit of premaxilla; (B) The anterior limit of maxilla-maxilla suture and the posterior broken region of premaxilla; and (C) Zoom in the limit maxilla-maxilla suture elucidating an anterior smooth surface that is here inferred as the posterior limit for maxillary-vomer contact. Dark lines delimit the bone limits and sutures. Anatomical abbreviations: if, incisive foramen; EN, external nares; pmx, premaxilla; mx-mx, suture between maxillae; mx-v, suture between maxillary and vomer. Out of scale.";
