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
