“…The only missing portions of the endocast are the olfactory bulbs and the anterior half of the olfactory tract endocasts. The overall shape of the brain endocast is akin to those of some mesoeucrocodylian crocodyliforms, both extant and extinct 50 – 58 . When observed in lateral view, the endocast displays a smoothly sinusoidal dorsal contour with relatively unpronounced cephalic (the angle between the forebrain and midbrain, measured to be 149°) and pontine (the angle between the midbrain and hindbrain, measured to be 152°) flexures.…”

“…Their medial margins are formed by the choanal septum of the pterygoid. The choanal apertures represent the posterior end of the nasopharyngeal duct (Fonseca et al, 2020), outside of which the choanal septum continues posteriorly, reaching the body of the pterygoid. This ventrally exposed part of the septum is laterally flanked by the parachoanal fenestrae, which are ovoid, mediolaterally compressed, and anteroposteriorly elongated.…”

“…In lateral view, the basioccipital gradually slopes anteriorly from the occipital condyle, forming the ventral bony support of the rhombocephalum region of the endocast. The bone ends immediately anterior to the lateral suture with the otoccipital, at the level of the inferred posterior margin of the mesencephalum (Fonseca et al, 2020). At this portion, the basioccipital forms a slightly dorsoposteriorly‐inclined anterior surface, where is locate the passages of the pharyngotympanic and the medial pharyngeal tubes.…”

“…In Massetognathus ochagaviae (total volume of the nasal cavity: 29.595 cm 3 ; recess volume: 1.97 cm 3 ), both recesses also represent ~13% of the total volume of the nasal cavity. In living tetrapods, the olfactory chamber is covered by olfactory epithelium (Moore, 1981; Hillenius, 1992; Novacek, 1993; Rowe et al, 2005), and a posterior expansion of the nasal cavity has been interpreted as indicative of a possible increase in the sense of smell in vertebrates (Witmer and Ridgeley, 2009; Fonseca et al, 2020). Concerning the biological role of the maxillary recess, Crompton et al (2017) suggested it was involved in the respiration of cynodonts, increasing the area of the respiratory chamber.…”
