摘要

THE ANATOMY OF BASAL ceratopsians has been studied for more than eight decades, but certain anatomical regions of the skull have been neglected due to problems of preservation and especially of preparation. In the past decade many new specimens of basal ceratopsians, including both psittacosaurids and basal neoceratopsians, have been discovered in China, and a number of new taxa have been described. Although the Jehol fauna is justifiably famous for its feathered theropods and birds, it is also the source of important psittacosaurid material, especially Psittacosaurus lujiatunensis and Hongshanosaurus houi, and basal neoceratopsians such as Liaoceratops yanzigouensis. The excellent preservation and preparation of this fossil material now allows for new detailed studies. We present the first detailed descriptions of the palate and basicranium of selected basal ceratopsians. A striking contrast is found between psittacosaurids and basal neoceratopsians in these regions. In caudal view the basioccipital of psittacosaurids is bilobate, while that of basal neoceratopsians is quadrilateral. The basioccipital-basisphenoid synchondrosis is exposed ventrally in psittacosaurids and is covered by the pterygoids in basal neoceratopsians. In psittacosaurids the basipterygoid processes of the sphenoid are long and directed rostrally, while those of basal neoceratopsians are shorter and directed ventrally or ventrolaterally. The central plate of the pterygoid of psittacosaurids is rostral in position at the midlength of the skull and the median joint is short, while the central plate of this element in basal neoceratopsians is caudally positioned with an elongate median joint. In psittacosaurids the vomer is nearly horizontal. The conspicuous choanae are very large, and open ventrally into the roof of the oral cavity. Air flow through the dorsally positioned naris into the nasal cavity is predominantly vertical. In basal neoceratopsians the vomer is inclined caudodorsally. The choanae are reduced to slits at the rostral end of the oral cavity, and are difficult to view due to their steep inclination. The air flow through the nasal cavity is much more nearly horizontal. Psittacosaurids exhibit a large number of autapomorphies in the nasal cavity. These and other related features add characters that provide us with new data that help us to understand the evolution of the Ceratopsia.
