Bone: Sulcus for auditory tube
Latin	s. tubae auditoriae, s. tubae auditivae
Gray's	subject #35 150
Dorlands / Elsevier	s_28/12770193

The lateral half of the great wing articulates, by means of a synchondrosis, with the petrous portion of the temporal, and between the two bones on the under surface of the skull, is a furrow, the sulcus tubæ, for the lodgement of the cartilaginous part of the auditory tube.
