Original and hypothetical 3D models of the crania of Panoplosaurus mirus (a, c) and Euoplocephalus tutus (b, d) in palatal view. (a, b) Original crania with intact secondary palates. (c, d) Hypothetical models with digitally removed secondary palates. Panoplosaurus lacks the single part (anterodorsal) of its secondary palate (c) and Euoplocephalus lacks both the anterodorsal and posteroventral parts of its secondary palate (d).
