Tobias said that the skulls of Bushmen retain strongly curved occiputs from youth into adulthood, but the curved occiputs of " Negroes " skulls start to flatten when their first permanent teeth erupt.

On the head, it has a pair of black streaks from the prefrontals to the occiput, another black streak from the eye to the commissure of the jaws, and another along the nape.

As he noted, several adaptations of the skull the short snout, the relatively small teeth and the strong back of the skull ( occiput ) had independently evolved in " Allosaurus ".

Parts of the cranium with thick bone and high local curvature make for good weapon areas, and these include the forehead near the hairline, the outboard curved part of the parietal bone, and the occiput.

Pachycephalosaurs are thus mainly defined by cranial features, such as the flat to domed frontoparietal, the broad and flattened bar along the postorbital and squamosal bones, and the squamosal bones being deep plates on the occiput.

In general, the normal position of the head can be determined by the angle between a vertical plane coinciding with the occiput of the cranium, which is always vertical, and a plane through the base of the cranium.

In addition, it differs from both " Saichania " and " Minotaurasaurus " in that it lacks postocular caputegulae ( or small, polygonal bony plates behind the orbit ) and has a proportionally high occiput in caudal view.
48.
The nuchal crest, a projection on the occiput, is straight in " P . madagascariensis ", but in " P . germainepetterae " it is interrupted in the middle, similar to the situation in armadillos and hyraxes.

Back labor may be noted when the baby is face up in the birth canal ( occiput posterior ), and not face down, so that the back of the baby's skull ( occiput ) is pushed against the mother's sacrum.
