"It marks the junction between three bones, the sphenoid bone, the parietal bone and the temporal bone."

It should read :

"It marks the junction between four bones, the sphenoid bone, the parietal bone, frontal bone and the temporal bone."

The upper diagram shows the pterion as that specific point where the sphenoid, parietal and temporal bones intersect. (see also asterion, that point where the parietal, temporal and occipital bones intersect).

That said, I agree with you that the region of the pterion also includes the frontal bone. However, I don't think the definition needs to be changed. Preacherdoc 23:21, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
