Perhaps none is more daunting than reconstructing species known only from fragmentary remains that lack cranial structures. Skulls provide crucial information about an animal’s sensory capabilities, feeding behaviors, and evolutionary relationships. Without these key anatomical pieces, paleontologists and evolutionary biologists must ...
