| 22. | The gula ( or medioventral head sclerite ) has hairs, but the occiput ( back of head ) is nearly hairless.
|
| 23. | In Carboniferous tetrapods, the neck joint ( occiput ) provided a pivot point for the spine against the back of the skull.

|
| 27. | The original skull was incomplete consisting of frontal and parietal bones, with a partial occiput, one temporal and a fragment of mandible.
|
| 28. | In the vertex presentation the occiput typically is anterior and thus in an optimal position to negotiate the pelvic curve by extending the head.
|
| 29. | Likewise, Gunnell's list of defining features of hyaenodontids includes : Long, narrow skull with a narrow basicranium and a high narrow occiput.
