Osteology

Skull, anterior view

A supraorbital foramen occurs on the right, a supraorbital notch on the left. Note that within the notch there is a small superciliary canal which extends into the frontal bone. This canal gives passage to a small nutrient artery, an emissary vein, and a nerve filament. The deviation of the bony nasal septum is not unusual.
