Summary

Description
English: Ocepeia daouiensis, Selandian, Phosphate level IIa of Sidi Chennane, Ouled Abdoun Basin, Morocco O. daouiensis. Reconstruction of the skull. Lateral view. This reconstruction of the skull is based on the female specimen MNHN.F PM45. The specimen MNHN.F PM54, a male individual, is distinct from MNHN.F PM45 with a more robust skull morphology and presence of a stronger sagittal crest. The dashed line (hatched area) at skull roof corresponds to our estimated correction of the plastic dorso-ventral crushing of MNHN.F PM45 that could not be quantified precisely on this specimen, even with the CT scans (see comments in text, §Reconstruction); the correction is based on comparison with MNHN.F PM54. The lower jaw was reconstructed based on specimen MNHN.F PM41 [26]. Drawings: C. Letenneur (MNHN).
