Human Skull - lesser wings (of sphenoid bone)

The probe is pointing to a lesser wing of the sphenoid bone from an interior top-down view of the skull. The lesser wings are located superior to their respective greater wing. In terms of the "bat" analogy for the sphenoid bone (when viewed from an anterior or posterior view), the lesser wings would appear to be the anatomical "ears" of the bat/sphenoid bone.
