Cranial segment note: Most of the cranial bones are scored as a single digit, the exceptions to this are the sphenoid and occipital bones, recorded as binary arrays. The sphenoid is recorded as five separate elements, the basisphenoid or body (B12) is recorded as a single digit. Each of the two wings (B11/B13) is recorded as a two-digit array, the first digit corresponding to the greater wing and the second digit corresponding to the lesser wing. The occipital bone is recorded relative to its four primary centres, the basioccipital (=pars basilaris) in B15, the exoccipitals (=pars lateralis) in B14 and B16 and the squamous portion in B17. The mandible is recorded as two halves: the right and the left.
