Documenting precondylar tubercles and third occipital condyles in human crania from a museological collection (Rome, Italy)
The identification of PCT and TOC in a curated historical sample contributes to the documentation of rare morphological variants at the craniovertebral junction. These results underscore the relevance of skeletal collections in descriptive anatomy and support future multidisciplinary research integrating clinical, developmental, and evolutionary perspectives.
