In the Sphenoid Bone , the posterior border, smooth and rounded, is received into the Lateral Fissure of the Brain ; the medial end of this border forms the anterior clinoid process, which gives attachment to the Tentorium Cerebelli ; it is sometimes joined to the Middle Clinoid Process by a spicule of bone, and when this occurs the termination of the groove for the Internal Carotid Artery is converted into a Foramen (carotico-clinoid).
