Figure 2. Sagittal sections through the individual braincases.

Figure 2

(A) Erlikosaurus andrewsi (IGM 100/111), (B) Nothronychus mckinleyi (AZMNH-2117), (C) Falcarius utahensis (holotype specimen, UMNH VP 15000), (D) Falcarius utahensis (referred specimen, UMNH VP 15001), all in medial view. All braincases are oriented with the lateral semicircular canal aligned horizontally, as indicated by the position of the left endosseous labyrinth. The sagittal sections show the variable degree of endocast angulation and flexure caused by the outline of the braincase floor and the position of the foramen magnum.
