The #clivus is a bony part of the cranium found at the skull base and is a shallow recession at the back of the dorsum sellae that inclines obliquely backwards. It creates a gradual sloping process at its junction with the #sphenoid bone at the forward most part of the basilar occipital bone. https://www.earthslab.com/anatomy/clivus/
