The substantia ferruginea is an underlying patch of deeply pigmented nerve cells located in the floor of the superior part of the sulcus limitans.[1] Melanin gives this area of the locus ceruleus its bluish-gray color. It was coined in 1838 and 1851. {{citation needed|date=October 2017}} See also- Rhomboid fossa
