Frontal bone. Inner surface. (Frontal crest visible at center but not labeled.)
Latin crista frontalis
Gray's subject #33 136

The internal surface of the squama frontalis of the frontal bone is concave and presents in the upper part of the middle line a vertical groove, the sagittal sulcus, the edges of which unite below to form a ridge, the frontal crest; the sulcus lodges the superior sagittal sinus, while its margins and the crest afford attachment to the falx cerebri.
