In the mandible , teeth are found on the dentary bones; on the cranium they may be on the maxilliary, premaillary  , palatine or pterygoid bones.  The teeth themselves may be pleurodont ( along the side of the bone) or acrodont ( along the crest of the bone).  In some lizards theodont teeth ( fitting in the sockets) are found, but along with one of the other types.  The teeth may be pyramidal , conical , flat , bicuspid or tricuspid.  They can be quickly and frequently replaced.

Between the maxilliary, premaxilliary and septomaxilliary bones is a large gap in the cranium.  This is in effect the internal nasal arch through which the nostrils draw air through the skull into the mouth.  Another gap exists a little behind this , usually behind the middle of the skull , and in here that the eye is housed.  Along the ocular cavity is a bone or pair of bones , called the frontals.  This is a centrally located bone met anterior by the nasals or occasionally the prefrontal.  It is bordered posterior by the parietal.  Along the border of the frontal and parietal , or often in the center of the parietal. may be found a single round eye. It is this small aperature that may be the pineal gland or  “third eye” is located.  In species lacking the eye. this pineal foramen is often absent.

There may be a temporal arch, an arch of bone created by the postorbital and squamosal bones.  The lower arch . formed by an extension of the jugular with the quadrate. is not generally found in lizards , but does occur in tuarta, Sphendodon, a lizard like animal inhabitant of New Zealand.  In some lizards and all snakes the upper temporal arch is lacking; in these forms the squamosal bone is rudimentary or absent.

One last aspect of the skull , that should be mentioned and covered is the occipital condyle. the point where the cranium is fixed to the skull.  This is a point of bone ( single in lizards and other reptiles) where the first vertebra, the atlas attaches to the skull.  It is not always the hindmost part of the skull.
