Text Appearing After Image: Fig. 127.—Skull of Archelon ischyros: pa, parietal; /, frontal; pm, premaxilla;pf, prefrontal; ptf, postfrontal; m, maxilla,/, jugal; qj, quadratojugal; sur, surangu-lar; d, dentary; an, angular. (After Wieland.) exactly the nodal relation of the five vertebral horn shields of laterturtles, like Lytoloma, though there are not the slightest traces ofsulci. From a purely anatomical standpoint I have suggested thatArchelon had seven dorsal keels corresponding to those of Dermo-chelys. There is much excellent reason for regarding dermogeneossification as essentially double-layered throughout the Reptilia. In any restoration of Archelon ischyros only the mid-line shouldbe accentuated as a series of rather sharp supraneural crests. Theseare shown to have been present by the characteristic groove-likemedian pits with radiating striae, which are such a prominentfeature of epineurals. It is reasonable to believe that the pitsmark the attachment of horny crests developed in the leatheryhide.
