with pedicles in parallel with the sagittal axis of the skull. Between the two frontal ridges, the front bone is strongly concave and the sagittal suture forms a robust ridge. The lacrymal fossae are very large. The anterior orbital rim is above the M2/M3 boundary. The pedicle is short, cylindrical, robust, and extends posteriorly from the rear of the orbit. The shedding plane of the burr forms an angle of about 70° medially with the longitudinal axis of the pedicle. The burr consists of a series of knobby tubercles. The anterior and posterior branches arise and diverge at an angle of 30° from the burr, with a U-shaped fork. Both of them have many deep furrows and high edges on their surfaces. The posterior branch is relatively long, and its tip is strongly curved posteriorly and medially. The anterior branch is straight and long, about half as long as the posterior branch, and it is situated anteromedially from the posterior branch. The posterior branch is lateromedially compressed, and the anterior branch has a circular cross section.

The parietal surface has an angle slightly larger than 90° to the frontal and occipital surfaces, respectively. The suture between the parietal and temporal bones is prominent to form an edge. The skull roof is the widest between the postorbital processes. The stylomastoid foramen is very large and located between the tympanic bulla and the external auditory meatus. The occipital crest is robust and turns anteriorly above the mastoid process to form the temporal crest, which does not directly extend to the posterior side of the paroccipital process. A crest behind the paroccipital process turns supero-medially at the mastoid process, and ends at a nutrient foramen below the middle part of the occipital crest, which does not connect with the occipital crest. The ventral surface of the skull is the widest at the mastoid process. The bottom of the curved depression in the lateral side of the palate is situated at the level of the posterior margin of M3.
