Anolis sagrei stage 4 - 19 Heads
Stage 5
Upper Jaw: Fronto-nasal prominence (the area of where the face will form anterior to the telencephalon) is prominent. Maxillary processes are small not extending beyond the anterior eye.
Lower Jaw: Mandibular process extends rostrally.
Eye: Differentiation of Lens.
Stage 6
Upper Jaw: Maxillary process extends rostrally, extending beneath the telencephalon. Fronto- nasal process is now present, appearing bifurcated into two large projections.
Lower Jaw: Mandibular processes roughly at level with center of eye.
Eye: Continued differentiation of lens. No eyelid visible.
Stage 7
Upper Jaw: Maxillary processes nearly reach the underside of fronto-nasal process. The bifurcation of the fronto-nasal processes appears reduced.
Lower Jaw: Extension of mandibular process to anterior margin of eye.
Eye: Optic cup ovoid in shape.
Stage 8
Upper Jaw: Maxillary process is in contact and may begin to fuse with fronto-nasal process.
Lower Jaw: Mandibular process extends rostrally to anterior edge of eye.
Eye: Optic cup still ovoid in shape. The earliest signs that the ectoderm is growing over the eye to become an eyelid is apparent.
Stage 9
Upper Jaw: Fronto-nasal process and maxillary processes now fused creating first evidence of a forward-facing snout anterior to eye.
Lower Jaw: Mandible still not level with the snout.
Eye: Upper and lower eyelids now distinct covering 10% of the eye.
