Chez les thérapsidés, il prend plus d'importance, formant une lame allongée dans le plan sagittal médian, et il est soudé au basisphénoïde; l'épiptérygoïde commence alors à faire partie de la paroi de la cavité cérébrale. 2, record 2, French, - %C3%A9pipt%C3%A9rygo%C3%AFde

Most extinct amphibians probably rested their large heads on the ground and detected vibrations in the substrate by bone conduction through the jaw and other structures to the inner ear. This mechanism was improved by incorporating a reduced, stubby hyomandibula into the line of sound transmission. The bone was then an ear ossicle and is assigned a new name, stapes (...) 1, record 8, English, - stapes
