In the [[temporal bone]], the '''mandibular fossa''' ('''glenoid fossa''') is bounded, in front, by the [[articular tubercle]]; behind, by the tympanic part of the bone, which separates it from the [[external acoustic meatus]]; it is divided into two parts by a narrow slit, the [[petrotympanic fissure]] ([[Glaserian fissure]]).
