This shows the frontal bone.  Notice the distinct suture running down the middle (normally, this wouldn't be present)

This shows the maxilla.

This is the nasal bone (it is much smaller than the other bones you looked at)

This is the sphenoid bone - you can see the optic canals as openings on the medial side of each "wing"

This is the zygomatic bone that forms part of the cheek.

This is the temporal bone that forms the remainder of the cheek.

Here is a parietal bone that forms the sides of the cranium.

Here is the occipital bone turned to show the foramen magnum and the occipital condyles.
