antihelix

The antihelix (anthelix) is a part of the visible ear; the pinna.
The antihelix is a curved prominence of cartilage parallel with and in front of the helix on the pinna.

The antihelix divides above into two ''legs'' or crura; the ''crura antihelicis'', between which is a triangular depression, the ''fossa triangularis''.
