“But, unlike modern fishes, most thelodont squamation, especially in the cephalopectoral region, was not imbricating.”

“The characteristics of fin rays, scales, and squamation of cheeks and gill-covers apply equally to both species.”

“Considerably more variation occurs in color and in the arrangement of markings than in squamation.”

“The tegmen tympani are much reduced and maintain only cartilaginous contact with the posterior arms of the squamosals.”

“Together with the quadrates, the opisthotics and various dermal bones, such as the parietals and the squamosals, the bones of the occiput form the back of the skull.”

“The incomplete squamosals also slope laterally and ventrally away from the parietals, slightly depressing posterior margin of the supratemporal fenestrae.”

“In all squamates, including iguanians, the tongue is also used for vomeronasal chemoreception.”

“There is no indication of any special differentiation of the fifth metatarsal, which is hooked in other squamates.”

“I modified behavioral experiments from previous studies of chemoreceptive behavior in squamates.”
