Non-pathological, dried, adult 75 (seventy five) crania were studied.45 were male, 30 were female. CI was measured by winged caliper and diameter of Foramen Ovale was measured by digital caliper. The mean value of CI in male crania was 67.17(sd+-1.06) and CI of female was 71.55cms(sd+-1.25). The mean value of diameter Foramen Ovale in male crania of right side was 0.81cms(sd+-0.07), and left side was 0.65 cms9sd+-0.08). The mean value diameter of Foramen ovale in females right side was 0.66cms (sd+-0.09) and left side was0.53cms (sd+-0.08).and ‘ t’ =7.93 for right side, ’t’=6.24 for left side of diameter of Foramen Ovale. All these values are statistically highly significant (p<0.01). Correlative coefficient of CI was 0.62 with male right diameter of Foramen Ovale't’=0.52 with left diameter of foramen ovale coefficient value of CI was 0.56, ’t’=4.38 which were highly significant statistically (p<0.01) but logistic regression of individual was insignificant. These obtained values are quite useful to medico-legal expert because by knowing the diameter of Foramen Ovale he can explore the Crania of both sexes and vice versa. As these crania belong to Maharashtra these values have ethnic importance to the Anthropologist, Anatomist, and Radiologist.moreover to the Neuro surgeon who approaches the Brain durametre through Foramen Ovale for trigeminal rhinotomy, electro encephalographic analysis for sizure diagnostic trans facial fine needle aspiration to rule out malignancy(1) Apart from that, marpho metric values of mesodermal derivatives are un-certain.
