Beyond surface morphology, 3D reconstructions allowed the first detailed visualization of previously inaccessible internal anatomical features, such as the complex architecture of the braincase and the parabasal and optic canals. The analysis revealed hourglass\u2010shaped skulls with pronounced sagittal crests and an advanced degree of coossification in the occipital complex. Digital dissection enabled the description of the pyramidal morphology of the otic capsules and the arrangement of the semicircular canals, alongside a more comprehensive redescription of the fossil material. Comparisons with the extant species\n                    <jats:italic>Amphisbaena alba<\/jats:italic>\n                    show that the fossils reach the upper limit of cranial size variation and exhibit greater occipital robustness.
