THE JANE DIARIES, ENTRY #17


November 22, 2014
9:30 am: Resume with Carr (1999) on the maxilla; starting at 468 pages.
10:15: Done with the maxilla, now starting the nasal!
10:41: Done with the nasal, now on with the lacrimal!
11:17: Finished with the lacrimal; now, on to the jugal!
11:46: Done with the jugal, now starting on the postorbital!
12:06: Time for lunch; 472 pages reached.
1:22 pm: Addition of Carr (1999) characters is resumed.
1:34: Done with the postorbital, and skipping over the braincase characters since those were already taken care of for CMNH 7541 in Carr (1999), and the braincase is not preserved in BMR P2002.4.1. So, straight to the palate and starting with the vomer!
1:50: Dammit – MW just crashed when I attempted to paste in a section of cut text.
1:54: Now, on to the surangular!
2:24: Just started the prearticular!
2:31: Now the dentary!
2:34: Dammit –another crash. This is a terrible program.
2:48: Made it to the end of the ontogenetic variation in A. libratus, I am now at the section on taxonomic variation.
2:53: I have to take a break.
3:10: Back to the premaxilla.
3:20: On to the maxilla.
3:33: Stop.
3:52: Resume.
4:04 pm: Stop.
