The two pieces join together to form the top of the head; Fourth, the temporal bones, a pair, beside the lower part of the skull; Fifth, the sphenoid bone, one piece, located in the front and lower part of the cranial cavity, shaped like a butterfly, and the brain marrow is located above it; Sixth, the ethmoid bone, one piece, in front of the sphenoid bone, in a cubic shape, with a coarse and loose texture.
