This is the sphenoid as seen from the side. The following is a fascinating example of how energetics can affect structure, from "The Heart of Listening" by Hugh Milne.
Sphenoid torsion is body language for "being all twisted up" or "torn apart" by conflicting loyalties. This often occurs in children whose parents are fighting; the child, for security reasons, wants to take a side, but cannot because of conflicting feelings of loyalties to both parents. Imagine the child's head looking first at mom, then at dad... The bone has no peace. Something has to give, and the sphenoid ends up being torqued to one side.

i think we all must have a twisted Sphenoid. it is so refreshing to read how the anatomy of our bodies have an energetic quality. Chinese medicine has many things associated with "organs" but bones not nearly as detailed as you describe.
wonderful drawing
