Will the book have guides on this jaws and skeleton for pillows? and Dires? It would be amazing to see how Jr's skeleton is like!

So it sort of stacks a bit? 
the only thing I can think of off the top of my head is to be able to "bite" ( the lower jaw is supposed to be able to crunch on things if I remember correctly?) there's a missing part of the skull called the saggital crest. Bird skulls dont have too much of one since they usually don't do as much chomping and chewing, so the top of the skull looks smooth and round.
But if you look on most mammals that bite down on prey/items, there a ridge at the back of the skull where the muscles connect to. It links up the muscles for biting, chewing, clinching teeth, ect.
Bird skulls are kinda weird since the bones rest on hinge like system whereas the mammals have bigger more obvious bones for the muscles to pull on though, so there would probably be like... a gap between the area so the bird skull can pivot but the mammal jaw coming back out more a bit and muscle would connect and pull between the two? probably a disk/pad between them so the bones wouldn't rub eachother (like how a spine bone stacks kind of)
aaa I tried to sketch out what my brain was doing because words (sorry I went with generic bearteeth my brain somehow lost that in thought translation but it would be the same with the jagged teeth shape)
I tried to think of where the hinges would work and the blue would be the guestimated jaw (temporalis and masseter) muscle area. Most don't really extend under the jawline but the double hinge system would be unique... I'm not a muscle master so I just tried to think logically where it'd be pulling on things and holding them in place. xD
Sorry it wound up being really long but I just found it neat to try to wrap my brain around how a double jaw system would work!
