Jugal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A small jaw bone found in some reptiles, amphibians and birds. It is connected to the quadratojugal and maxilla, as well as other bones, which may vary by species.

This bone is considered key in the determination of general traits of the skull, in the case of creatures, as with dinosaurs in paleontology, whose entire skull has not been found.
