CONT

[Chez les mammifères] les os pro-otique et opisthotique (et ancien épiotique éventuellement) [...] perdent définitivement leur individualité pour se réunir en une seule masse nommée périotique [...] Toutefois, chez les mammifères inférieurs, le périotique peut n'être pas bien soudé aux os environnants tandis qu'il leur est intimement fusionné chez les mammifères supérieurs. Ce nouvel ensemble rocheux [est] localisé très en profondeur et en dessous du cerveau.
