Most limb and limb\u2010girdle elements commence ossification premetamorphically, along with the parasphenoid, frontoparietals, exoccipitals, and vertebral column, during Gosner Stage 36. The chondrocranium undergoes dramatic restructuring at the beginning of metamorphosis (ca. Stage 40); and the nasal cartilages, prootics, premaxillae, nasals, maxillae, septomaxillae, and ischium appear. Near the end of metamorphosis (ca. Stage 44), the branchial arches are resorbed, the hyoid plate and quadrate form, and the angulosplenials, vomers, squamosals, dentaries, and pterygoids ossify. After metamorphosis (Stage 46), the laryngeal cartilages, sternum, omosternum, and plectral apparatus chondrify; and the carpals, tarsals, sphenethmoid, posteromedial hyoid processes, mentomeckelian bones, quadrates, columellae, and opercula ossify.
