upper front of bone
frontal glabella
directly above both eyes (unibrow looking)
suprorbital margin or notch
notch is an indent on the very top portion of the orbital cavity, a foramen is a little indent right abve the orbital cavity
squamous temporal bone
top of the temporal bone
zygomatic process of temporal bone
the ridge above the mandible andon the bottom of the temporal.
mandibular fossa of temporal bone
little hole/indent right below the zygomatic process directly where mandible attaches
external acoustic meatus on the temporal bone
a hole next to the mandibular fossa
styloid process on the temporal bone
the process/protrusion coming out of the termporal

hypoglossal canal in occipital
canal on either side of occipital foramen magnum in the occipital condyle
external occipital protuberance
little bump on occipital bone
nuchal lines on occipital bones
lines on either side of external occipital protuberance
ethmoid perpendicular plate
similar to the nasal septum, a long thing protusion on ethmoid
crista gali on ethmoid
little process on opposite side of perpendicular plate
