Definition
Located in front of or before the eye socket; positioned anterior (forward) to the orbital cavity of the skull.
Etymology
From Latin ante- (before, in front of) + orbital (relating to the eye socket, from orbit). The term is used in anatomy and paleontology to describe skull features and bone positions. The prefix 'ant-' or 'ante-' means 'before' in spatial terms.
Kelly Says
Paleontologists use 'antorbital' to describe features on dinosaur skulls! Many theropod dinosaurs had antorbital fenestrae (openings), which scientists think helped reduce skull weight and may have housed sensory organs—these features reveal evolutionary adaptations that shaped skull design.
