  • Title: The ossification of the membraneous part of the squamous occipital bone in man.
    Author: Pal GP, Tamankar BP, Routal RV, Bhagwat SS.
    Journal: J Anat; 1984 Mar; 138 ( Pt 2)(Pt 2):259-66. PubMed ID: 6715248.
    Abstract:
    The membranous part of the squamous occipital bone, above the highest nuchal line, develops from two pairs of centres and an occasional third pair, pre-interparietal, which may develop anterior to the interparietal centres. Previously it was considered that the pre-interparietal bone is found at the lambda, anterior to the interparietal, which is also a common site for the formation of sutural bones. In this study, on the basis of anomalies observed in a large series of skulls, sutural bones at the lambda are differentiated from the bone developed from the pre-interparietal centres. A separate pre-interparietal bone is identified by its shape and position. It is present behind the lambda within the territory of the membranous occipital bone.
