Angular bone
The
angular
is a large
bone
in the
lower jaw
(mandible) of
amphibians
and
reptiles
(
birds
included), which is connected to all other lower jaw bones: the
dentary
(which is the entire lower jaw in
mammals
), the
splenial
, the
suprangular
, and the
articular
. It is
homologous
to the
tympanic bone
in mammals, due to the
incorporation of several jaw bones into the mammalian middle ear
early in mammal evolution.
