Tooth replacement and tooth-to-tooth wear is more common than previously thought among heterodontosaurids, and in Heterodontosaurus the angle of tooth-to-tooth shear is shown to increase markedly during maturation.

This region of the adult skull was known from fragments in the 1970s, but renewed fieldwork beginning in the 1990s at the Hadar site, Ethiopia (3.4-3.0 Ma), recovered two nearly complete crania and major portions of a third, each associated with a mandible. skull roof and the entire dorsal margin of the orbits (Figs.

It con-, tacts the maxilla along a long, slightly curved suture that, terminates at the antorbital fossa, where the jugal forms its short. In ceratopsians the jugal is generally triradiate, although all three processes tend to become short and broad. Journal of Vertebrate. These new specimens confirm that in small-brained, bipedal Australopithecus the foramen magnum and occipital condyles were anteriorly sited, as in humans, but without the foramen's forward inclination.
