1-adult skull is fused while children's and fetus 's skull is unfused.
2-The fetus and children's skull is flexable the "fontanels are soft to help mom in
birth while adult skull is rigid and hard not flexable but it is breakable.
3-The fetus and children's skull is smaller thinner and composed of deformable bones while adult's skull is bigger thicker and not deformable usually after age 18-25.
Two characteristics of the fetal skeleton skull that differ from the adult skeleton are the presence of fontanelles (soft spots) in the fetal skull that allow for flexibility during childbirth, and the incomplete fusion of cranial bones in the fetus compared to the fully fused bones in adults.
Spaces between skull bones that have not ossified usually occur from birth to age two and are called fontanels. By age two, the fontanels close and become sutures.
Infants have more bones than adult humans. Since they must be pushed out of the uterus, their skull must be able to change shape. Their skull is broken down into four bones, as they grow older the bones will fuse together to form a solid skull.
The number of bones in an adult skeleton and an infant skeleton differ substantially. An infant skeleton is made up of 350 bones while an average adult skeleton will have 206 bones. This means that nearly one-third of the bones in our human body will bond together during the period between infancy and adulthood.
The soft region between bones and the skull is called the fontanelle. It is also known as the "soft spot" and is present in infants to allow for the growth and expansion of the skull during early development.

The process of newborn skull development, which involves the fusion of skull bones, can impact overall growth and development in infants by providing protection for the brain and allowing for the growth of the brain and facial structures. Proper skull development is important for normal brain function and overall physical development in infants.

When the brain is abnormally smaller then the skull in an adult. What is this called?
The separate plates of a baby's skull eventually becomes fused together as the baby grows. In an adult, the skull has become one (cranium), with a hinged jawbone attached.
Both an infant skull and an adult skull are made of the same material and have the same general parts. Although shaped a little bit differently, the shape is the same in a general sense.
