Human Skulls
Young skull with two frontal bones visible

This skull is unique - you can see that there are two frontal bones and the suture between them is still visible. Normal mature humans show no visible suture here as the two frontal bones fuse into one. Comepare this skull to the other non-labeled real-bone skull to see the difference.

1. Frontal bones
2. Metopic suture
