Comparison of cranial endocasts and that of braincases reveals minor variation amongst specimens referred to as Euoplocephalus. The braincase of AMNH 5405 in left lateral view (A), the cranial endocast of the same specimen in left lateral (B), dorsal (C) and ventral (D) views, the braincase of UALVP 47977 in right lateral view (E), the cranial endocast of the same specimen in right lateral (F) and ventral (G) views, and the cranial endocast of UALVP 31 in right lateral (H) and ventral (I) views. The images E–I were all inverted horizontally to show the right sides in the same orientation with the left side of AMNH 5405 for the purpose of comparison. In both UALVP 47977 and UALVP 31, the right side is better preserved. UALVP 47977 is represented by a line drawing of a latex cast, and AMNH 5405 and UALVP 31 are 3D models based on CT data. Roman numerals refer to either the foramen for, or the trunk of, the cranial nerve. amcv, anterior middle cerebral vein; amp, insertion site for M. adductor mandibulae posterior; sensuHolliday & Witmer, 2007; fl, flocculus; fv, fenestra vestibularis; ic, internal carotid artery; ocv, orbitocerebral vein; of, olfactory fenestra; pmcv, posterior middle cerebral vein; sp, sinus of pituitary.
