Anteriorly, Ibc 231 has a large antorbital fossa that expands well beyond a small antorbital fenestra that is defined by a small circular edge on the anterodorsal margin of the lacrimal. Although the entire fenestra is not preserved because it would have been bounded also by the maxilla, the acute circumference of the bor- der on the lacrimal suggests the fenestra was small. The fossa expands ventrally to the maxilla contact and dorsally to a broken edge. The ventral edge of the fossa is marked by a low but distinct near horizontal ridge that may have been the external limit to the maxillary contact. Below this ridge, the lacrimal is relatively smooth and lightly textured, possibly to contact a thin superficial overlap from the maxilla. A similar ventral antorbital fenestra morphology is present in

The remain- der of the external surface of the lacrimal is heavily ornamented anteroventrally with pitting and sulci extending onto the orbital margin. The posterior margin of the antorbital fenestra is sharply edged with the fossa placed deep from the lacrimal superficial surface, creating a sharp bony roof on the posterior margin of the fossa.

The fossa is smooth and the lacrimal portion of the fossa bounds the posteroventral corner of a small antorbital fenestra. The lateral surface of the lacrimal is relatively straight in posterior aspect. The robust prefrontal suture occupies much of the posterodorsal and posterodorsomedial surfaces of the lacrimal. Medially, a low, horizontal crest extends anteriorly from the base of the prefrontal contact and another smaller crest parallels this crest anterodorsally. A large lacrimal duct pierces the dorsal orbital margin and appears to have been bordered dorsally by the prefrontal. Two smaller foramina lie medial to the lacrimal duct.</paragraph>
