Quadratojugal bone

The quadratojugal is a small jaw bone that is present in most amphibians, reptiles and birds, but has been lost in mammals.

Reptile

Reptiles are tetrapod animals in the class Reptilia, comprising today's turtles, crocodilians, snakes, amphisbaenians, lizards, tuatara, and their extinct relatives.

Zygomatic bone

In the human skull, the zygomatic bone (cheekbone or malar bone) is a paired bone which articulates with the maxilla, the temporal bone, the sphenoid bone and the frontal bone.
