This article is about the bone. For the noun, see Angle.

The angular is a large bone in the lower jaw (mandible) of amphibians and reptiles (birds inclused), which is connected to all other lower jaw bones: the dentary (which is the entire lower jaw in mammals), the splenial, the suprangular, and the articular. In mammals it's named the tympanic bone.
