Projecting superiorly between the cribriform plates is a triangular process called the crista galli "rooster's comb." The outermost covering of the brain (the dura matter) attaches to the crista galli and helps secure the brain in the cranial cavity.

The cribiform plate and crista galli are part of the Ethmoid Bone. The Cribiform Plate forms the superior surface of the Ethmoid Bone which helps form the roof of the nasal cavities and floor of the anterior cranial fossa. The Crista Galli projects superiorly from the Ethmoid Bone between the Cribiform Plates. The outermost covering of the brain is attached to the Crista Galli and keeps the brain in place.
Sphenoid
The ethmoid bone forms the roof of the nasal cavity. Its perpendicular plate forms part of the nasal septum. Its curved projections form the superior and middle nasal conchae. Its superior projection is called the crista galli.
Statocysts are found in cephalopods. They are extremely vital to the organisms. Statocysts enable cephalopods to keep their retina in alignment with gravity. The statocysts can be broken down into two parts: the macula and the crista. The macula indicates changes in gravity and linear acceleration. The crista indicates changes in the angular acceleration. If the statocysts are removed from the animals, they will no longer be able to swim and can only move in a haphazard way.
The crista galli is found on the skull in the cribiform plate of the ethmoid bone.

No, Falx cerebri attaches to the Crista Gali of the ethmoid in the front of the skull.

The flower color of Erythrina crista-galli, commonly known as the cockspur coral tree, is typically bright red. However, there may be cultivars or variations with different flower colors, such as pink or white.
