Introduction 

A skull is a bony structure that encases and protects the brain, as well as providing support for the face and jaws. It is made up of multiple bones that are joined together by sutures, and it also contains various openings for the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. The skull is an important structure in determining the identity of a species, as the shape, size, and arrangement of the bones can provide information about the species to which an individual belonged.
