Preferred Label : ethmo-palatine cartilage;
Uberon definition : The ethmo-palatine cartilage (EPC) is a distinct body situated between the posterior
surface of the upper arm of the premaxilla and the anterior margin of the palatine.
There is usually only a single cartilage mass lying between these bones, although
that cartilage is apparently subdivided into two units in some taxa (e.g., the Old
World characiform family Citharinidae, Vari, 1979:294). Vari 1989a.;
