Answer:

Sella Turcica

Step-by-step explanation:

The sella turcica (also called the hypophyseal fossa or pituitary fossa) is a mid-line saddle-shaped depression in the sphenoid bone and belongs to the middle cranial fossa and it can be located by centering the CR (central ray) at a point 3/4" anterior and 3/4" superior to the E.A.M. (external auditory meatus).
