I don't think the initial presentation is correct, that there is a collective zygomatic process that includes the zygomatic bone and the 'zygomatic processes' of adjacent bones (temporal, maxilla, frontal) and structures (orbital) projecting and joining to the zygomatic bone. There is only the situation of a number of different zygomatic processes all qualified by the bone of which they are processes (just as listed in the article), and their attachment to the zygomatic bone. 142.68.161.187 ( talk) 22:01, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
I agree with the above. According to Marieb & Hoehn's (2010) Human Anatomy & Physiology [1], "The irregularly shaped zygomatic bones ... articulate with the zygomatic processes of the temporal bones posteriorly, the zygomatic process of the frontal bone superiorly, and with the zygomatic processes of the maxillae anteriorly." The zygomatic bone itself does not form part of the zygomatic process. 14.202.96.151 ( talk) 12:42, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Pointlessly fragmented approach to a tiny structure that makes it very difficult for readers to understand. Readability would be enhanced by merging. Tom (LT) ( talk) 06:40, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
Given that the case has been made to merge in the frontal process, the same argument holds for the processes of both the temporal and maxilla. Klbrain ( talk) 21:50, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
In non-human terms, the temporal arch consists of processes from the jugal ("zygomatic") bone and the squamosal bone; in various mammals, the squamosal has fused with several other bones (prootic, opisthotic...) and forms (in the adult anyway) the squamous part and the zygomatic process of the temporal bone.
Separate question: why do all these articles for skull bones pretend that only humans have them? David Marjanović ( talk) 16:02, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
There is a 2017 merge template on the article and other related stubs. I came to this through a twelve year old that liked the rotating skull on the Zygomatic process of maxilla. I transferred some of that material to this article and looking at the others since there was consensus to merge that has a career tag on them. Otr500 ( talk) 13:15, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
