What two specific structures articulate to form the jaw?
The mandible (lower jaw bone) articulates with the temporal bone of the skull at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Which two bones form the articulation that allows rotation of the head?
Two vertebrae in the cervical section of the vertebral column call the axis and the atlas.
What bone connects to the head?
Bones connect to one another in joints which are referred to as articulations. Your head, or skull, has a bone at its base called the occipital bone. It articulates with the first cervical vertebrae, at the top of your neck, called the atlas, or C1. The two join together to form the atlanto-occipital joint which is a gliding joint sometimes called the yes-yes joint because it allows for movement of your head from side to side. Just like when you are saying 'yes.'

What bone in the skull is a definitive feature of mammals?
Actually, it's the lack of bones. Mammals' jaws have only the dentary (the lower jaw bone) and the squamosal (the upper jaw bone). Non-mammalian amniotes have two more bones in the skull: the articular in the lower jaw and the quadrate in the upper jaw. In them, the articular and the quadrate fuse to form the joint. In mammals, the articular is the malleus of the middle ear, and the quadrate is the incus.
