Table 2. List of semilandmark curves used in these analyses.

Curve # Semi-landmarks Description/Notes
Nasal Aperture 17 From rhinion counterclockwise around nasal aperture, through nasospinale, down right and up left.
Nasospinale – Prosthion 4 Follows midline.
R./L. Premax-Max Suture 11 From Premax-Max Superior to Premax-Max Inferior along suture.
Dorsal Rostrum 23 From right M1-2 contact superiorly across rostrum midline to left M1-2 contact, orthogonal to alveolar plane.
R./L. Orbit 13 Orbital margin from Zygo-Max Superior laterally through Frontomalare Orbitale, medially through Mid-Torus Inferior and hamulus/notch to dacryon.
R./L. Temporal Margin 10 From Frontomalare Temporale to Zygo-Temp Superior along temporal margin.
R./L. Inferior ZygomaticMargin 9 From Zygo-Max Inferior to Zygo-Temp Inferior along inferior-most margin of zygomatic.
R./L. Alveolar Margin 10 Along outer margin of alveolar process from Distal M3 to Mesial P3.

The numbers correspond to those of Frost et al. (2003) and Figure 2.
