The muscular fibres shine through the delicate skin as in australis, and the teeth on the jaws and vomer appear to be similar. |
The tapering anterior end of the vomer enters between the premaxillae, forming a loose contact that results in slit-like fontanelles on either side. |
In pigeons and sandgrouse there is no vomer, but the other bones have the Schizognathous arrangement. |
The true Dolphins also appear to show the same intervention of the vomer in a few cases. |
Of these bones the vomer is never related to a cartilaginous tract below, while the palatines and pterygoids usually are so. |
The vomer has a thin anterior ridge that gradually disappears before it reaches the border of the premaxillary. |
