	Palaeos Vertebrates 240.000 Squamata Overview
		The Squamata are the most successful order of Cenozoic reptiles, with some six thousands recent species (more species than there are mammals!).
		Technically, the Squamata are lepidosaurs, distinguished from other related and similar forms by a flexible and powerful jaw structure.
		This came about through the loss of the lower temporal bar in the skull, which gave more room for the jaw muscles to develop, and the development of a special moveable hinge, the quadratojugal hinge, between the quadrate and squamosal bones in the skull.
