Maybe " calvarium " ? (Even though, according to Dorland's, calvarium is an

" incorrect form for calvaria " , I frequently come across calvarium.)

calvarium = incorrect form for calvaria.

calvaria = 1. [NA] the domelike superior portion of the cranium, derived from

the membranous neurocranium and consisting of the frontal and parietal bones and

the squamous parts of the occipital and temporal bones.
