The squamosal or [[squamous suture]] is the [[cranial suture]] between the [[temporal]] and [[parietal bone]]s bilaterally. From the [[pterion]], it extends posteriorly, curves inferiorly, and continues as the [[parietotemporal suture]].

Along with the growth of the [[pterion]], the [[asterion]], and at the [[frontozygomatic suture]], growth at the squamous suture contributes to the vertical height of the cranium during skeletal maturation.

The squamosal suture may not completely close until 60 years of age.
