FIGURE 23. A - Restoration of the skull of Devincenzia pozzi, modified by Patterson & Kraglievich (1960), based on specimen MLP-37-11-7-8 (type of Onactornis pozzi Cabrera, 1939). B and C - Phorusrhacos longissimus, drawing by Ameghino (1895), based on a "complete skull, but in such a bad state of conservation that it is almost reduced to dust" (BMNH-A529); C - dorsal view of the mandible. The skulls of both Phorusrhacinae are of approximately the same size, and differences in height can, at least partially, be attributed to deformation in fossilization and defects in the reassembling of the skull of Devincenzia pozzi.Published as part of Alvarenga, Herculano M.F. & Höfling, Elizabeth, 2003, Systematic Revision Of The Phorusrhacidae (Aves: Ralliformes), pp. 55-91 in Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia 43 (4) on page 73, DOI: 10.1590/S0031-10492003000400001, http://zenodo.org/record/490070
