No reference exists for a "cross bone." However, the name"Cross Bones" is used for a medieval graveyard in Southwark, London. And the term "crossbones" is used for a pair of crossed long bones (in an X style) beneath a human skull, as "skull and crossbones": an insignia used both by classical pirates and as a symbol for "poison" or "death."
The Skull and Bones was a Templar flag. The Templars used to cross the lower leg bones of the deceased brothers over the chest in order to ship the remains in a more compact fashion. The bones on the flag are the shin bones.
