Human Skull - superior nuchal line (of occipital bone)

The probe is pointing along the superior nuchal line, which is located directly superior to the visible ridge (known as the "external occipital protuberance", which is a useful landmark) below it.

Bone terms:
line - is slight, long, linear bump or ridge; it is like a "crest" but does not protrude out as far.
