I am currently looking at pathologies in a number of dog crania found in Egypt. Quite a number of the specimens have a 'pitting' of the palate bone area - in varying degrees. I am relatively new at this and wonder if anyone has seen this before. Is it genetic, or is it caused from disease? I am posting a photo of the specimen with the worst case of this pitting and would be grateful for any help that would lead me to a diagnosis. Thank you, Mary
