I'm pouring over this paper on phylogeny tyrannosauroid dinosaurs. I'm not understanding what is being measure in the premaxilla bone, which is a measured characteristic 13. Does anyone have an example of a diagram of what is being measured?
(Premaxilla orientationa and shape of anterior margin)
I don't know what ventral and anterior margins are and what angle is being measured.
Article: http://www.nature.com/articles/srep20252
13) Premaxilla, orientation and shape of anterior margin: smoothly curved and projection posterodorsally, angle between ventral margin of premaxilla and anterior margin is less than 90 degrees (0); smoothly curved and projecting vertically or slightly anterodorsally, angle between ventral margin of premaxilla and anterior margin is equal to or greater than 90 degrees (1); projecting vertically or slightly anterodorsally, with a discrete inflection point between a more vertical ventral portion and a more horizontal dorsal portion (2). ORDERED (Brusatte et al. 2010:13).
This character is slightly modified following Brusatte et al. (2014:485). We have transformed the original character of Brusatte et al. (2010:13) into an ordered multistate by adding a new intermediate state referring to an approximately vertical (or slightly anterodorsally inclined) anterior margin of the ventral portion of the premaxilla. State 2 now refers to a special condition of this state, in which the anterior margin is vertical (or anterodorsally inclined) and there is also a discrete inflection point between the more vertical ventral portion of the anterior margin and the more horizontal dorsal portion of the margin. Taxa with this condition, therefore, do not possess a smoothly curved anterior margin of the premaxilla. Tyrannosauroids are characterized by either state 1 or state 2, with state 2 referring to a subset of basal tyrannosauroids (Dilong, Guanlong, Kileskus, Proceratosaurus, Sinotyrannus).

I think they're talking about a lateral (side) view of the angle between the bottom of the premaxilla (where the teeth are) and the front.
I tried comparing a few images of Tyrannosaurus and Dilong skulls, and there seems to be quite a lot of variation. Some of the T. rex skulls do seem to show an inflection point, but others seem pretty smoothly curved. A Nature paper is probably the wrong one to look to for good character descriptions. I'd look at the references to see if anything is illustrated there.
