It is drawn out laterally into an antorbital process in front of the eye, and a postorbital process behind it.
British Columbia, show intergradation in shape of auditory bullae, in breadth of pterygoid fossae, and in shape and size of antorbital foramina between Z.
In Phainopepla there is much variability in this character; some specimens have a narrower antorbital bridge than others.
However, the flaring of the antorbital region appears to be common in the nestlings of many species of passerine birds.
Ptilogonys, more flaring occurs in theantorbital region.
Phainoptila, as noted above, has no great amount of flaring in the antorbital region.
In this specimen, the flaring in the antorbital region is clearly evident and equal in amount to that in skulls of P.
The antorbitalplate is large and divides the orbital chamber from the nasal chamber.
Rhamphorhynchus is distinguished by the small size of the antorbital vacuity, which is placed lower than the nostril on the side of the face.
In Ptenodracon the antorbital vacuity appears to have no existence separate from the nostril which adjoins the eye hole.
The head has the same four lateral vacuities, but the nostril is relatively small and elongated, extending partly above the oval antorbital opening, which was larger.
But in some at least of the Iguanodont, or Ornithischian Dinosaurs, there is no antorbital vacuity, and the side of the face in that respect resembles the short-tailed Pterodactylia.
The nostril is rather small and elongated, and ascends over the larger antorbital vacuity.
When a separate antorbital vacuity exists, it is bordered by the maxillary bone in front, and by the malar bone behind.
In most genera there is an opening in the side of the head, between the eye hole and the nostril, known as the antorbital vacuity; and another opening, which is variable in size and known as the temporal vacuity, is placed behind the eye.
The short-tailed types represented by Pterodactylus and Ornithocheirus have no distinct antorbitalvacuity in the skull defined by bone.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "antorbital" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
