It will mean that the ossification of the system has really begun.
These different ontological patterns of suture ossification have implications in terms of limiting the phylogenetic growth of the brain to specific regions such as the posterior cortex.
One woman was reported as having died from ' fat about the heart ', other persons from ulceration of the mouth, from water on the stomach, or from ossification of the pharynx.
The first scenario is institutional ossification.
Specifically, the early ontogenetic ossification of the cranial sutures overlaying the frontal lobe would not have been able to accommodate the anterior expansion of the dorsal cortex.
In many performances that ossification was perfectly obvious.
This is far from being a perfect system, but it has proved quite capable of avoiding ossification.
These bones are not preformed in cartilage but ossify from several ossification centres directly from ectomesenchyme, giving rise to the cranial vault (calvaria).
