What are Gonial Angles?

What are gonial angles (pictures please)? :

I'll try. Imagine you have a mandible on the table at eye-level in front of you. Face the mandible towards you so that the incisors are the teeth closest to you. Now look at the farthest part of the mandible away from you resting on the table, the point were it makes a "right angle" and starts going upward. This corner is the gonial angle. It varies from race to race. New Caledonians, for instance, have jaws which actually rock back and forth on a table. Now, if this angle flairs out to the sides, away from the center-line, it is said that this individual has extraverted gonial angles. Frans_Josef recently posted pictures of Combe Capelle and Obercassel skulls, both in profile and in the head-on position (in a discussion of Borrebys). The Obercassel skull has extraverted gonial angles while the Combe Capelle skull does not.

I might have measured incorrectly, because I think they were in the Nordic or Danubian range. I am sorry let me rephrase my question. What is the difference, comparitively, of the gonial angles of Upper Paleolithic survivors and the gonial angles of the typical Nordic? :
