They are joined at the midline by the sagittal suture and to the frontal bone by the coronal suture. The occipital ok sip i tal bone forms the posterior portion and floor of the cranium. The sphenoid bone from the outside appears to contribute to only a small portion of the cranium but when the parietal bones are removed and the interior of the cranial cavity where the brain would be housed is viewed you can see the butterfly like shape of the sphenoid bone makes a large contribution to the floor of the cranial cavity. B the complex floor of the cranial cavity is formed by the frontal ethmoid sphenoid temporal and occipital bones.
