I would like to know if there are any comprehensive developmental overviews that can be traced in order to formulate proper hypotheses about the skull constituent parts. Maybe even separately for skull elements thet originate from the mesoderm (somitomeres) and neural crest. There is one complete book (W.J. Moore "The mammalian skull") and one collection of papers ("Morphogenesis of the mammalian skull" ed. H.J. Kuhn and U. Zeller) that are quite informative in this field. Any more recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
