As a landmark, the foramen spinosum reveals the positions of other cranial foramina, the mandibular nerve and trigeminal ganglion, foramen ovale, and foramen rotundum.
The foramen ovale is one of two cranial foramina in the greater wing, the other being the foramen spinosum.
Only (4%) of the mandibles show bilateral multiple mental foramina.
The incisive foramina, which perforate the palate between the incisors and the molars, are long and narrow, extending between the first molars.
The incisive foramina, which perforate the front part of the palate, are very broad and extend between the first molars.
The incisive foramina (openings in the front part of the palate) are short, not extending between the first molars.
Medial to the anterior jugular foramen, the exoccipital is pierced by two foramina.
There are at least two shallow depressions, just ventral to the dental parapet, that may represent nutritive foramina, but these are indistinct and their identification cannot be confirmed.
