Squamosal border
Margo squamosus
Definition
The squamosal border corresponds to the lateral border of the parietal bone. It joins the squamous part of the temporal bone by means of a rough or layered bevel, cut from the outer surface.
Its caudal part contributes to the formation of the temporal meatus, in species where this exists, by curving up against the petrous part of the temporal bone.
