Which of these would a paleontologist be most likely to do in order to determine whether a fossil represents a reptile or a mammal?

If this fossil had a skull, a paleontologist could look for fenestrae (openings). A mammal has one fenestra, beneath the postorbital and squamosal bones. A lizard also has one fenestra, but it is above the postorbital and squamosal bones. Testudine reptiles (turtles and relatives) and snakes have no fenestrae, while the rest of the reptiles have two: one above the postorbital and squamosal bones and one below.

There are actually 2 "openings," both of which are covered by connective tissue of some sort. One opening is called the fenestra vestibuli or oval window, and the base of the stapes is attached by a ligament (called the anular ligament) to the fenestra vestibuli. The other opening is the round window and is covered by the secondary tympanic membrane.

The key difference between a synapsid and diapsid skull lies in the number of openings behind the eye socket. Synapsids have one opening, called the temporal fenestra, while diapsids have two openings. This distinction is important in understanding the evolutionary history and classification of these two groups of animals.
