"The frontal lobe is located in front of the central sulcus and superior to the lateral sulcus. *****It has four gyri and three sulci**** on the superolateral surface. There are two anteroposterior sulci running parallel to the superior margin, the superior and inferior frontal sulci. The posterior end of each one give off two branches, an ascending and a descending rami. They join and form the precentral sulcus, which is parallel to the central sulcus.

****The three frontal sulci**** divide the frontal lobe in four gyri. ..."

So there are three frontal sulci: the superior frontal sulcus, the inferior frontal sulcus, and the precentral sulcus. Hope this helps.
Note from asker:
Yes, I also think it's a frontal sulcus of some sort. I'm just a bit confused by the anatomy and needed verification.
Ah, I get you (light came on). Thanks.

agree Shaunna (X) : Sulci of the frontal lobe, since there is more than one sulsus in the front lobe.

Thank you, Shaunna! You are right. I should have used the plural form. :-)
agree orientalhorizon : yeah, this is the more non-academic wording, but it's right, though the sulci is better.
