During its reconstruction in 1986, the frontal bone was completed by joining 24 fragments (direct bone-to-bone contacts). To the frontal bone the following parts are attached: the zygomatic bone, a fragment of the occipital bone (which, however, cannot be joint to it directly), a small piece of the basis, the subnasal maxillary bone (it possibly does not correspond to the facies anterior of both sides), the toothrows of both sides (left side P

) with a fragment of the palatine (KORDOS 1987b). According to WU RUKANG & al. (1981) the Sivapithecus lufengensis skull find P.A. 677 "is an almost complete skull, only the mandible was missing. The maxilla has in situ all teeth, except the two medial incisors, the left lateral incisor and the right canine. The
