ignorance..);by saying that "both sides are lingual views" you're saying that
bone is present on both slabs so that on each slab we see a medial view of the
skull?? I used to think that "slab and counter slab" referred to the presence on
one of them of the bones(ok, too simple situation, but just to imagine it) and
of the impressions on the other one. Am I completely wrong?
Anyway, if the counterslab contains only the
impression, then if the preserved side on the slab is the labial one, it
would be the same on the counterslab, no?
Any clarification greatly
appreciated;-)
