"Cut marks on the frontal bone, transverse and in the temporal fossa (1656). View is from above, looking down onto the right supraorbital margin. Burning has resulted in exfoliation of the outer table of the cranial vautl. The deep, sinuous grooves at upper frame left are vascular groves, normal skeletal anatomy. The smaller scalar ticks are millimeters." (White, 1992)
