The premaxilla, best preserved in SAM-PK-K1332, exhibits several unusual features that also characterize other heterodontosaurids. The narial fossa is deep ventral to the external nares, and the fossa extends close to the alveolar margin of the premaxilla (Figs 57A, 59). The fossa was shown somewhat farther from the alveolar margin in some previous reconstructions (

Later reconstructions show it slightly shorter but inserting between the prefrontal and lacrimal (Fig. 57B) or coming to a point contact with the prefrontal (Fig. 58). The best-preserved specimen suggests the second option, that the process terminates between the lacrimal and prefrontal (Fig. 59), excluding external nasal-lacrimal contact as occurs in euornithopods.

The predentary is smaller relative to the anterior end of the dentary, which is expanded dorsoventrally (Figs 59-61). The predentary is triangular in lateral view, approximately as long anteroposteriorly as deep dorsoventrally, with sharp lateral margins and a rounded ventral keel. In dorsal view, the predentary is also triangular in shape and sharply pointed anteriorly. The lateral and ventral processes of the predentary are best understood only when the element is completely exposed (SAM-PK-K1332). The ventral process is the most reduced, extending as a short point in the midline that is not otherwise differentiated from the body of the predentary (Fig. 61B). The lateral processes extend posterodorsally as short prongs with a subtriangular cross-section. Their distal tips are positioned just anterior to the caniniform tooth (Figs 59, 60B). There is a deep median trough between the lateral processes, which gives the predentary a V-shaped cross-section at mid-length (Fig. 60B). Thus the predentary in

This surface is strongly concave anteroposteriorly and gently convex dorsoventrally (Figs 39, 59). These opposing curvatures create a smooth, vertically deep, saddle-shaped articular surface for the predentary. This surface is broadest anteroposteriorly at mid height, where the dentary projects anteriorly to a blunt end (Fig. 39). The predentary-dentary joint has been erroneously described as

The third premaxillary crown (pm3), in contrast to the mesial two, is caniniform with markedly greater size, more pronounced recurvature, and more lateral compression of the upper crown (Figs 59, 90, 91). Basal crown width (mesiodistal) and height, however, are slightly less than the crown of the dentary caniniform tooth. Skull reconstructions showing these opposing caniniform teeth in labial view as equal in width or height are erroneous (Fig. 57). The central axis of the caniniform crown is vertical. The mesial carina is convex, whereas the distal carina is nearly straight (Figs 90A, 91). At least the distal carina is serrate, with approximately six serrations per millimeter (

When a wear facet obliterates most or all of the lingual side of the crown, the central fossa on the basal portion of the root creates a concave margin in cross section (Fig. 49C, m10). Maxillary crowns are also canted lingually relative to the vertical axis of their roots (Figs 43D, 44B). The enamel thins across the flat mesial and distal surfaces of the crown. Computed tomographic sections suggest that a thin layer of enamel may be present on the lingual side of the maxillary crowns, which is often obliterated by tooth wear (Figs 48-52).

are unusual in two other regards-their internal structure and the form of their roots. The pulp cavity of cheek teeth is spacious and extends up into the crown as is well exposed by erosion (Fig. 42) and seen in cross section (Figs 45C, 50C). In the dentition of an adult skull, the pulp cavity is exposed on wear surfaces (Fig. 55B, C). The common ornithischian condition, in contrast, is that the pulp cavity closes during maturation of the tooth, such that the pulp cavity is limited to the root (Figs 53D, 54D). The second unusual feature of the cheek teeth is the bluntly rounded distal end to the roots (Figs 42, 44B). The roots of most ornithischian teeth are more tapered toward their tips, which may retain a small distal opening (Fig. 53B, D). The functional significance of blunt-rooted cheek teeth is not known.

There are 10 postcaniniform dentary crowns (d2-11) opposing 11 maxillary crowns. The dentary tooth row, nonetheless, terminates distally even with (SAM-PK-K1332), or distal to (AMNH 24000), the last maxillary tooth, because d1-4 crowns are relatively broader than their counterparts in the maxilla (Figs 41, 55, 59). Mesiodistal crown width increases from d2 to d8 or d9 and then decreases slightly in d10 and more dramatically in d11. Postcaniniform tooth count was initially reported as 12 or 13 (

). The diapophysis is already developed as a subcylindrical process in C3 and the parapophysis likewise by C4 (Figs 62, 63B). The neural spine of C3 is unusually elongate for an ornithischian (Fig. 62). A hypertrophied epipophysis extends posterodorsally over the proximal one-half of C4. Joined medially for much of its length by the neural spine, this composite process resembles the axial spine in shape and orientation. Unlike the condition in the axis, however, a ridge from the prezygapophysis joins the epipophysis over the postzygapophysis (Figs 62, 63B). The basal ornithischian

The postzygapophyses of C5 and C6 are joined to the prezygapophyses by a low ridge but no epipophyseal processes are present. A marked change in the shape of the prezygapophysis occurs between C5 and C6, the latter more erect and supporting a broad hook-shaped articular surface (Figs 62, 63B). As noted by Santa Luca, the neural spines of C5 and C6 project anterodorsally between the postzygapophyses of the

The length of the centra varies along the cervical column with C6-C9 noticeably shorter in length, as observed by Santa Luca (Figs 62, 63C). In this connection, the centrum of C3 is also measurably shorter than that of C2, C4 and C5. Thus, there exists the unusual condition in

|
||
in which the centra of C4 and C5 rival the axial centrum in length (Table 7). Variation in centra shape, from a parallelogram to a trapezoid, imparts an S-shaped curve to the cervical series in natural articulation (Fig. 62). The cervical centra are slightly amphicoelous with no development of opisthocoelous articulations as occurs in derived euornithopods with a highly flexed cervical series.

Santa Luca tentatively identified the transition between cervical and dorsal vertebrae, and further information supports his conclusions. The best indicator of the transition from cervical to dorsal vertebrae in ornithischians is the abrupt dorsal shift of the parapophysis from the centrum to the base of the transverse process on the neural arch.

position of the parapophysis on the anterodorsal corner of the centrum in C9 is similar to that in preceding cervical vertebrae (Figs 62, 63C). Most of this portion of D1 is exposed with no sign of a prominent parapophysis. The rib of C9, in addition,

a significantly longer tuberculum than the rib of D1, both of which are near their natural articulation. The proportions of the rib of D1 suggest that the parapophysis was located at the base of the transverse process, rather than below the neurocentral suture. Thus the evidence suggests that there are nine cervical vertebrae.

Dorsal and sacral counts hinge on the interpretation of the transverse process and rib in presacral vertebra 21 (girdle contact, not central fusion, is the arbiter regarding status as a sacral vertebra). Although the transverse process is broken at its tip, a portion of its rib is preserved projecting under the preacetabular process of the ilium (Fig. 68). An articulation with the pelvic girdle, if it existed, cannot be observed. The pelvis has undergone some transverse crushing, during which the left ilium has shifted posteroventrally. The sacral attachments that extend laterally on the right side, for example, angle posterolaterally on the left side. When restored to its original more

A fracture crosses the mid-shafts of the right radius and ulna (Fig. 65). The portion of these bones proximal to the fracture has rotated about 30°, so that the olecranon process is exposed in profile and the flattened end of the ulna lies parallel to a plane through the carpus and metacarpus (Fig. 65). The left ulna, in contrast, shows an uncrushed condition, in which a plane through the coronoid and olecranon processes of the ulna is canted at about 45° to the plane of the carpus and metacarpus.

The distal end of metacarpal 1, which is best preserved on the right side, shows asymmetric distal condyles very similar to the condition present in many theropods. The lateral condyle is larger and raised above the medial condyle (Figs 64, 67A), which as noted by Santa Luca would cause the pollex to converge toward the palm during flexion, opposite the direction shown by Galton and Bakker (1974). It is common in the pollex of theropods such as

, when comparing vertical planes through the proximal and distal ends (Fig. 64). As preserved, all of the principal inner digits in the partially flexed right manus are canted slightly medially toward their distal ends. This is probably the result of subtle postmortem compression of the manus. Given the typical form of the distal condyles of metacarpal 1, the pollex is reconstructed in neutral pose in a manner that would result in its palmar deflection upon flexion (Fig. 67A).

That coossification, however, is not as complete and homogeneous as in avians. The distal suture between the fibula and calcaneum, for example, is visible, and the distal end of the fibula is expanded anteroposteriorly and transversely (Fig. 69). In a second individual of similar size collected from the same formation (SAM-PK-K1328), partial sutures between the fibula, calcaneum and astragalus are visible (Fig. 70). The astragalus has a short ascending process that may establish a contact with the distal end of the fibula, and the calcaneum has a transverse width approximately 25% of the width of the proximal tarsus (Fig. 70).</paragraph>

Compared to the proximal end of metatarsal 2, metatarsal 1 has approximately 20% of its transverse width and 30% of its anteroposterior depth. Santa Luca erroneously figured the proximal end of metatarsal 1 as roughly as broad as metatarsal 2. Metatarsal 1 extends proximally to contact the tarsus, where it fuses with the medial distal tarsal. Metatarsal 5, a dorsoventrally flattened sinuous splint, is preserved in articulation on the posterior aspect of the right tarsometatarsus (Table 9). Although Santa Luca described metatarsal 5 as positioned ventral to the proximal end of metatarsal 4, it preserves articular relations seen in other ornithischians and appears to be in natural articulation, along with all other elements of the right tarsometatarsus. Its proximal end articulates with the beveled posterior face of distal tarsal 4, and its shaft angles at about 45° mediodistally across metatarsal 4 to the ventral aspect of metatarsal 3.</paragraph>
