occipital | posterior most section of bone on flat portion dorsal to foramen magnum |
occipital condyle | projections from occipital |
presphenoid | center small section of bone posterior to palatine and anterior to basisphenoid |
basisphenoid | section of bone medial to tympanic bulla and posterior to presphenoid but larger than presphenoid |
