* Locate the mastoid process of the petrous temporal bone near the external auditory meatus.  At this level, the zygomatic arch leads rostrally to the orbit.  The rim of the orbit is bony, expect caudally where it is completed by the orbital ligament.  This ligament, however feels hard and indistinguishable from bone.
