Their anatomical variations are important to clinicians and surgeons planning interventions around craniovertebral junction. Our study report a large tubercle (third occipital condyle) at the anterior margin of foramen magnum in a adult skull which presented an articular antero-posterior facet on the inferior surface and foramen with canal extending from anterior to posterior surface. Its evolution, morphology, and development have been discussed in background of available literature.&#13;
