Features of a Caucasian Skull

Apart from the obvious like
( Projection in maxilla chin and Browridge)

What else is there

A Caucasoid cranium is long in length, narrow in breadth and high in height. The sagittal contour is round, and it exhibits a somewhat sloping forehead in comparison to Negroid or Mongoloid crania. The occipital profile is rounded and it exhibits strong nuchal muscle markings (Skinner & Lazenby 1983:50)

I'd say two important things you missed are smaller noses and mouths than most other races to accommodate for colder, drier air.

Cope
no scientific evidence for that
And I already made a post on how
desert animals and even animals in the hottest climates have
some of the smallest pointiest noses compared to others in their genus
also Caucasian skulls have always existed in africa and other hot places

Even with all that they still don't look ideal

That Maasai guy from East Africa has Caucasoid/MENA ancestry. That's why his nose is narrow & straight.

still doesn't explain why Inuits and Eskimos don't have straight narrow noses

Narrow/straight noses can occur in both cool/dry & semi-arid climates (i.e. Europe/Arctic or North/East Africa). http://humanphenotypes.net/metrics/nasalindex.html

Look at somalis

Most Somalis barely have Caucasoid skulls. They have a mix of both Caucasoid/Negroid skulls The only Somali guy I can think with a full Caucasoid skull is Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed.
