bulla (anterior up). B, inset of broken edges of bulla. B’, enlargement of inset B, rotated<br />

180 degrees in plane of page (anterior down). C, inset of lateral part of broken edge of<br />

bulla. C’, enlargement of inset C – lateral flange of bulla showing double laminae. D,<br />

inset of more medial part of broken edges of bulla. D’, enlargement of inset D – anterior<br />

part of bulla showing double laminae. Pellouin skull Plesiadapis tricuspidens (E-G): E,<br />

ventral view of right petrosal and bulla. F, inset of broken medial process. F’,<br />

enlargement of inset F – medial flange of bulla showing double laminae. G, inset of<br />

broken lateral process. G’, enlargement of inset G – lateral edge of bulla showing double<br />

laminae. Broken edges are highlighted with dashed lines. The two laminae illustrated to<br />

comprise the bony wall of the bulla may be derived from two, or more likely, a single<br />

cranial bone. The bulla is probably petrosal-derived in both taxa shown here.<br />
