Human Skull - mastoid process (of temporal bone)

The probe is pointing to the mastoid process, which looks like a rounded cone protruding from the underside of the skull. The mastoid process is located almost directly behind (posterior to) the external auditory meatus, and is also lateral to the styloid process (left*) of a temporal bone.

*see previous post on "styloid process" for a clearer visual example of the styloid and mastoid processes side-by-side.
