Abstract
With the use of the moiré contourography, the three-dimensional position of euryon was investigated in Indian adult skulls.The moiré con-tourography makes it possible to analyze the form of the skull three-dimensionally by means of projecting contour lines on its surface.The location of euryon was represented by x, y and z values in the rectangular coordinates and by γ, ψ and θ values in the polar coordinates.In terms of sex differences, the position of euryon in females was significantly higher, more posterior and more lateral than in males.The pattern of the contour lines in females was more concentric and more regular than in males.
