Single irregular bat-shaped bone forming part of the cranial floor?
It is a sphenoid bone; single, irregular bat(a bird)-shape bone forming part of the CRANIAL Floor. Not many people think sphenoid bone being part of the cranial bone that is why they don't find any answer to this question. but Sphenoid bone is one of the cranial bone and can be found on the cranial floor when looking at the skull from its superior view.

What are the innervation of the eye?
Cranial nerve #2 - optic nerve - special sensory for vision Cranial nerve #3 - occulomotor nerve - motor for extraoccular muscles & parasympathetic to ciliary ganglion Cranial nerve #4 - trochlear nerve - motor for extraoccular muscle (superior oblique) Cranial nerve #6 - abduscens nerve - motor for extraoccular muscle (lateral rectus)
