So these two *definitely* need to be merged, the only question is which should contain the content and which becomes a redirect. Personally, I favor moving the content to Ectotympanic, and making the ring a redirect, since it doesn't always form a complete ring.

IIRC, the ectotympanic isn't fused with the temporal bone in all species. To merge them would therefore be misleading, as it suggests the human state is the default.
