Abstract

Background: Studies of non metric cranial variants have been a field of considerable interest to research workers especially because of their racial and regional importance. Methodology: Total of 28 north Indian human crania of western U.P. was studied for the incidence of Ossicle at Asterion a cranial variant. Results: Ossicle at Asterion was found in 4 (14.2%) of total human crania. Conclusion: The presence of Ossicle at Asterion found to be of considerable regional and racial significance.
