Questions

Where is the cranial bone?

What does the cranial bone connect to?

Part of: cranium.

Is the cranial bone the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
