Death Sentence
Con l'avanzamento dei processi evolutivi le relazioni fra neurocranio e splancnocranio realizzate tramite articolazioni dette sospensioni, si fanno via via più strette. Si distinguono:
sospensione anfi-stilica: è la più antica, dove, sia il palato-quadrato sia l'io-mandibolare, si articolano con il neurocranio (alcuni condritti)
sospensione io-stilica: soltanto l'io-mandibolare si articola con il neurocranio e si acquista una maggiore mobilità della bocca (maggior parte dei pesci: squalo, osteitti, acipenser)
sospensione auto-stilica: neurocranio e splancnocranio tendono a fondersi estesamente (negli olocefali e in tutti i tetrapodi: cheloni, loricati, falconiformi, carnivori, artiodattili, sdentati)
Tra le modificazioni riguardanti lo splancnocranio sono degne di nota particolare quelle relative al I e al II arco viscerale.
L'osso io-mandibolare, la porzione dorsale dell'arco iodeo (II arco viscerale), nei pesci partecipa alla sospensione io-stilica; nei tetrapodi (dagli anfibi in poi) si trasforma nel primo dei tre ossicini dell'orecchio medio ovvero la staffa (o columella auris).
Il I arco viscerale (arco orale) mantiene la sua funzione di sostegno dell'apertura buccale; negli Osteitti e in tutti i Tetrapodi ad eccezione dei mammiferi, l'articolare e il quadrato, ossa di sostituzione del I arco viscerale, permettono l'articolazione tra la mascella e mandibola; nei Mammiferi l'articolazione maxillo-mandibolare si forma ex novo (fra il dentale e la porzione squamosa del temporale), mentre l'articolare ed il quadrato si trasformano rispettivamente nel martello e nell'incudine, completando così la catena degli ossicini dell'orecchio medio.
Il cranio ha lo scopo di contenere e offrire protezione all'encefalo ed agli apparati di senso.

The main difference lies in the aesthetic finish. The Sterling Silver version is classic 925 silver—bright and shiny—while the Black Edition has a distinctive dark tone, similar to gunmetal black.
