the temporal bones are the two bones in your skull in the ear area
The temporal bones articulate with the parietal bones superiorly, the sphenoid bone anteriorly, the occipital bone posteriorly, and the zygomatic bones laterally.
The occipital, parietal and temporal bones are connected by the squamosal suture. This suture was not present when a person is a newborn baby.
The squamosal suture is formed by the fusion of the temporal bone and the parietal bone. This suture is located on the side of the skull, where the temporal bone joins the parietal bone.
