Occipital bone The occipital bone (/ˌɒkˈsɪpɪtəl/) is a cranial dermal bone, and is the main bone of the occiput (back and lower part of the skull). It is trapezoidal in shape and curved on itself like a shallow dish. The occipital bone overlies the occipital lobes of the cerebrum. At the base of the skull in the occipital bone there is a large oval opening called the foramen magnum, which allows the passage of the spinal cord.
Cuboid bone In the human body, the cuboid bone is one of the seven tarsal bones of the foot.
