| 11. | Crinoids are supported by jointed stalks containing substantial compound ossicles.
|
| 12. | The arms contain columns of well-developed vertebrae-like ossicles.
|
| 13. | The middle-ear ossicles further amplify the vibration pressure roughly 20 times.
|
| 14. | The three ossicles transmit sound from the outer ear to the inner ear.
|
| 15. | Several ribs were also found with these ossicles attached.
|
| 16. | Just below their skin is an endoskeleton composed of calcareous plates or ossicles.
|
| 17. | There are no ossicles present over the neural spines, unlike in hupehsuchians.
|
| 18. | The stapes is the third bone of the three ossicles in the middle ear.
|
| 19. | Vibrations that contact the tympanic membrane travel through the three ossicles and into the inner ear.
|
| 20. | Anterior to the ossicles lie further muscles, contraction of which cause the introvert to retract.
