nal process peaks at region of styloid process, sepa-
rated from mastoid process (Ng l, Ng 6, Ng 7, Ng 13,
Ng 14); fades out before meatus (Ng 1, Ng 7, Ng 12);
goes to meatus (Ng 13, Ng 14). Articular fossa deep,

plane: approximately 45" (Ng 5, Ng 6, Ng 12); more
horizontal (Ng 1, Ng 13); steep (Ng 3). Occipital
torus defined inferiorly by undercutting of nuchal
plane (Ng 1, Ng 3, Ng 5, Ng 6, Ng 12, Ng 13, Ng
14). Superior surface of petrosal: smooth/gently
curved (Ng 6, Ng 12, Ng 13); low arcuate eminence
(Ng 7); expansive, but not salient arcuate eminence
(Ng 14); all lack subarcuate fossa. Frontal lobes not
fully over orbital cones (Ng 1, Ng 5, Ng 6, Ng 14); Ng
12 not fully, but slightly more than others. Frontal
crest long (Ng 1, Ng 6, Ng 12, Ng 14); Ng 5 long, but
not as long as others. Middle branch of middle
meningeal artery notably arborized (Ng 4, Ng 6). In-
ternal occipital protuberance low lying (Ng 1, Ng 5,
