Squamosal suture
cranial suture between the temporal squama and the parietal bone
The squamosal suture, or squamous suture, arches backward from the pterion and connects the temporal squama with the lower border of the parietal bone: this suture is continuous behind with the short, nearly horizontal parietomastoid suture, which unites the mastoid process of the temporal with the region of the mastoid angle of the parietal bone. The term parietotemporal suture may refer to both of these sutures or exclusively to the parietomastoid suture and its use is, therefore, best avoided.

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Squamosal suture” is cranial suture between the temporal squama and the parietal bone. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Squamosal, suture and cranial, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “cranial suture between the temporal squama and the parietal bone” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q832662. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
