No, fontanels are quite waterproof.
The posterior fontanel would be in the back of the head. The coronal fontanel would be located in another part of the brain.
Anterior (frontal) Fontanel Posterior (occipital) Fontanel Anterolateral (sphenoid) Fontanel Posterolateral (mastoid) Fontanel
Fontanel means "soft spot"; fate.
Its called a fontanel
A fetal skull has six fontanels: two anterior (sagittal and frontal) and four posterior (two squamous and two mastoid). These membranous gaps eventually close as the skull bones fuse together during infancy.
two "spots" generally combine to make up the larger spot. they are the posterior fontanel and the anterior fontanel
Fontanelle or Fontanel is the soft spot of an infant human skull between the cranial bones. The posterior fontanel closes on the first few months of life.
The anterior fontanel is the most dorsal fontanel, located at the intersection of the sagittal suture and the coronal suture on the top of the skull.
They gradually fuse, so that eventually there is no anterior fontanel (or posterior fontanel) either.

The fontanel located between the parietal and occipital bones is known as the posterior fontanel. It is a soft spot on an infant's skull that typically closes within the first few months after birth. This fontanel allows for flexibility during childbirth and accommodates the rapid growth of the brain during early development.
