Bone on the top back of neck, right under skull. it doesn't stick out, i can only feel it when i press in. what could this be?

Occipital Bone: That is called the occipital protuberance on the back side of the skull. It is normal and almost everyone has this. Unless it hurts, i wouldn't worry about it.
