Posteromedial branch folded laterally on posterior margin of process, extending distally as flat process with truncate tip, the tip bluntly dentate with taller, triangular extension at posterior end. Posteromedial branch with two additional processes: (1) anterior process nested by, and curving to follow, anterolateral branch, terminating in fold of posteromedial branch just distal to tip of anterolateral branch process; (2) small lateral process arising ca halfway across diameter of
