What is the name of the cranial bone just above your ear?
The temporal bones are situated at the sides and base of the skull, and lateral to the temporal lobes of the cerebrum.
The temporal bone supports that part of the face known as the temple and houses the structures of the organ of hearing. The lower seven cranial nerves and the major vessels to and from the brain traverse the temporal bone.

Hate answers which are not referenced. They can make up anything, and you cannot check

better choices might have made this a challenge. I suggest using the names of some actual bones...

Why do people get so annoyed with Tesla? If you don't like the comments, ignore them. At least Tesla is consistently polite & regularly thanks the authors of the questions & answers, an attitude some others might do well to emulate

Nick Wild Smith, the mastoid is a part of the temporal bone, much like the tibial tuberosity is a location on the tibia or the olecranon is part of the ulna.

You could have made it a little harder by using names of the other bones around it like occipital and parietal.
