The Sphenoid (Sphenoidal Bone) this is why it is know as the keystone of the cranial floor
*The sphenoid is not a facial bone, it is a cranial bone. There is no facial bone which 'articulates' with 'every other facial bone'. Articulation suggests jointed so sutures would make more sense & these sutures would be on all facial bones edges which knit them together

Sphenoid bone: A prominent, irregular, wedge-shaped bone at the base of the skull. The sphenoid bone has been called the "keystone" of the cranial floor since it is in contact with all of the other cranial bones.The Greek physician Galen wrote that the sphenoid bone was "like a wedge thrust between the skull and the superior maxilla."
The maxillary bones form the upper jaw; together they are the keystone of the face.
The radius articulates with more of the carpal bones than the ulna.
The upper end of tibia bone.
Where one cranial bone meets another is referred to as a suture line.

The cranial vault is formed by the Frontal bone, pair of Temporal bones, pair of Parietal bones, Occipital bone, Sphenoid bone, and superior portion of the Ethmoid bone.
Sphenoid Bone:(from Greek sphenoeides, meaning "wedgelike") wedge like bone, one of the eight Cranial Bones. There are fourteen Facial Bones...
The radius articulates with more of the carpal bones than the ulna.
The temporal bones articulate with the parietal bones superiorly, the sphenoid bone anteriorly, the occipital bone posteriorly, and the zygomatic bones laterally.
