we follow the standard evolutionary classification and treat this as endoskeletal. This means what MA calls 'chondrocranium' must in fact be neurocranium, as it includes parts of the dermatocranium (e.g. frontal, parietal)
Anatomical cluster that is part of the cranium and composed of cartilage and cartilage replacement bones.[TAO]
