I believe you are referring to periosteum. Periosteum is a fibrous, dense irregular connective tissue lining the outer surface of all of your bones, but not at the joints.

The periosteum is the tough fibrous membrane that surrounds each bone. "Peri-" means around, and "oste-" is the combining form meaning bone.
