Le mode de formation de ces fosses conduit à distinguer trois types principaux de voûte crânienne [...]: Le type "anapside". La capsule auditive, constituée par le prootique et l'opisthotique, est située profondément sous la surface du crâne: entre elle et les os de membrane superficiels existe un espace, la "cavité temporale", qui est continue, à l'avant, avec l'orbite, qui s'ouvre à l'arrière du crâne et qui est remplie par les muscles masticateurs [...]. Cette cavité, complètement recouverte par des os dermiques, existe chez les Reptiles Cotylausauriens et chez certaines tortues actuelles "Chelone" [...]. La voûte crânienne est totalement couverte et ne présente que quatre perforations, les narines et les orbites; il n'y a donc pas de fosse temporale. 1, record 3, French, - anapside
