. The dorsal roof of the skull (fig. 2 F, G; table 1) is represented by the ventrally eroded, thin parietals, the supraoccipital and, at the posterolateral margins, probably the dorsalmost portions of both squamosals. There is no distinct interparietal. The dorsal periosteal surfaces are damaged by patchy bioerosion, which in two places has also led to the perforation of the supraoccipital. Enough remains to see that the supraoccipital is longer, from its apex to the margin of foramen magnum, than in

The anterior pedicle has been distorted post-mortem and rotated ventromedially, so that the suture for the anterior bullar facet of the periotic is steeply dipping, rather than subhorizontal.

The otherwise smooth dorsal surface anteriorly on the involucrum was probably covered by a lobe of the peribullary sinus; this smooth bone extends posteriorly 20+ mm, at least to the oblique “step” in the dorsal profile, and possibly to the level of the prominent sub-vertical postmortem crack (fig. 3M). Further posteriorly, the elevated involucral surface is considerably rougher, suggesting that the peribullary sinus may not have extended over the involucrum here. In medial view, the involucrum has a horizontal zone of irregular fine creases, probably marking tendinous connections to the basioccipital crest (fig. 3F, M). A large irregular depression on the posteriormost portion of the involucrum (fig. 3M) is probably a collapsed cluster of galleries formed by the osteophagous siboglinid worm

The floor of the latter is smooth and has a marked transverse saddle about level with the anterior pedicle, behind which the tympanic cavity deepens markedly, and narrows. The cavity both undercuts the involucrum and, at its posterior limit, rises dorsally to excavate it below the inner posterior pedicle.

The anterior pedicle has a narrow, anteroposteriorly long junction with the outer lip (fig.3A, M). The junction is cracked, and it is uncertain if a groove for the chorda tympani nerve was present. In dorsal or dorsomedial view (fig. 3A, M), the anterior pedicle has three elongate faces roughly perpendicular to each other. The original structure and orientations are interpreted thus: a lateral plate that descends to the outer lip; an elongate sub-oval dorsal face with a shallow grooved suture for the periotic; and a descending medial crest, with a groove that presumably contributes to the origin of the tensor tympani muscle (following

). A posterior view (fig. 3L) shows the silhouetted cross section of the pedicle, with the three surfaces bounding an elongate V- to U-shaped ventral groove. On the dorsal face, the suture for the anterior bullar facet of the periotic is a long, shallow groove (fig. 3L, M); accordingly, the fovea epitubaria was probably shallow and flat, rather than saddle-shaped. The dorsal face of the pedicle does not show any clear region of fusion with the anterior margin of the mallear fossa, although the lateral edge of the posterior apex has lost a sub-mm area of surface bone which might indicate fusion.

Posteriorly, at the inner margin of the sigmoid process, the ridge passes into a tiny projection representing the broken anterior process of the malleus (fig. 3M).
