For me, personally, memorizing the bones of the skull has been the most challenging part of the ossuary system. Granted, I’m sure there are folks out there who would find the entire 200+ bones of the skeletal system to be a pickle to remember, but I’m choosing to focus on my own particular area of weakness.

Frontal Bone (front) Occipital Bone (back) Parietal Bone (across the top) Temporal Bones (temples) Sphenoid Bone (sides of the eye sockets) Zygomatic Bones (cheeks) Nasal (nose) Lacrimal (around eye sockets) Maxillae (upper jaw) Mandible (lower jaw)
