The cranial bones are entirely disarticulated, spaced, and mounted in their 

 relative positions for study purposes. The cranium is hinged, and may be tipped 

 back to facilitate the study of the sphenoid and basioccipital bones. The two 

 superior maxillary bones rotate, exposing the palatine and dental surface. 



The superior and inferior maxillary on the right side are cut away, exposing the 

 roots of the teeth, displaying their character, development, and succession.
