FUN FACTS

Turtle skulls have a complete covering of dermal bones and, instead of teeth, they have keratinous sheaths covering the upper and lower jaws. All three elements of the turtle otic capsule are ossified, but the epiotic and opisthotic are united with the supraoccipitals, whereas the prootic is not. In some primitive turtles, a false roof composed of the postfrontals, parietals and squamosals is elevated atop the true cranial roof. Turtles have sclerotic ossicles around the eyes. Turtles do not have nasals, parasphenoid, postfrontal, postparietal, or ectopterygoid bones. They usually lack the lacrimals, and the premaxillae and palatines are relatively small. As many as six bones fuse to form the turtle mandible.
