Cranial bones are bones of the head, tarsal bones are bones of the feet.
suture
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.
Cranial bones join at sutures.
Fontanelles, or "soft spots". These are features of the infant skull that have soft gaps between the cranial bones. They allow for rapid stretching and deformation, since the brain expands faster than the surrounding bone can grow.
There are 8 cranial bones in the human skull. They include the frontal bone, parietal bones, temporal bones, occipital bone, sphenoid bone, and ethmoid bone.

Wormian or sutural bones are located in sutures between certain cranial bones.
