Description: 
size of mouth-gape: Upper jaw lengths were measured from the anterior-most point of the pre-maxilla to the posterior edge of the maxilla. Lower jaw lengths were measured from anterior-most part of the mandible to it posterior edge. Mouth gape was determined using Pythagorean theorem - assuming that the jaws represent two sides of a right triangle and the hypotenuse is the expected mouth gape.
