As you touch the area of your temple region about as high as your ear straight forward towards the nose you can feel the muscle there which can be found easily by clenching your jaw repetitively, go to the top of the muscle towards the peak of your head about two inches above the edge of the muscle and that is the supperiorlateral part of the cranium. Often injuried in a head trauma. Hope that helps.

It's part of a ridge on the skull, and is called the occipital protuberance. This ridge is where the large muscles of the lower jaw attach, and all dogs have it to one degree or another; bloodhounds having a particularly noticeable protuberance! In dogs with large, blocky heads like Mastiffs or Rottweilers, this can be difficult to notice due to their large jaw muscle attachments.
