base of the skull? edit
The textual description "rear of the skull" rather clearly contradicts the image, where the occiput is rather at the BASE of the skull, whereas parietal designates the rear... Contradict or correct please. --HilmarHansWerner (talk) 06:54, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
- The OED defines occiput, n. as: 1. The back or posterior part of the head; 2: The occipital bone of the skull. Its Etymology: classical Latin, occiput: back of the head. Tommy Pinball (talk) 07:55, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
