 The large maxillary fossae of "Euchambersia" have been continual subjects of debate regarding their function.However, most researchers agree that they held some sort of secretory gland.While Broom initially argued that the fossae may have contained the parotid salivary glands, this proposal was rejected by Boonstra and J.P. Lehman, who noted that the parotid glands tend to be placed behind the eye; they respectively suggested that the fossae held modified lacrimal glands and Harderian glands.
