1 Scientists believe this powerful predator could eat up to 500 pounds (230 kilograms) of meat in one bite. 2  Fossils of T. rex prey, including Triceratops and Edmontosaurus, suggest T. rex crushed and broke bones as it ate, and bone fragments have been found in its dung.
Etiology. Infection is the principal cause of tympanic membrane perforation (TMP). Acute infection of the middle ear may cause a relative ischemia in the drum concurrent with increased pressure in the middle ear space.This leads to a tear or rupture of the eardrum that is usually preceded by severe pain. If the perforation does not heal, it leaves a residual tympanic membrane perforation (TMP).nfection is the principal cause of tympanic membrane perforation (TMP).

Really. Anatomy In reptiles with external ear structures, the tympanic membrane is visible, either nearly contiguous to the surface of the skin (as with iguanids such as the green iguana), or recessed deeper into the head (as with some scincids, such as the blue-tongue skink, and agamids, such as the bearded dragon).unction Airborne vibrations are picked up by the tympanic membrane. Substrate (ground or other conducting surface on which the reptile is in close contact) vibrations are detected by the quadrate. The tympanic membrane or quadrate vibrates, in turn vibrating the extrastapes and thus the stapes.
