When the supraorbital foramen is not completely
enclosed by bone, there is a supraorbital notch, rather
than a foramen, on the orbital rim, as is the case for
this specimen.

At birth, there are 2 frontal bones
that articulate along the metopic
suture. Although the suture
generally disappears by age 8 as
the bones fuse, the adult skull
commonly retains traces of the
suture line.
